I've got a problem with my footer and can't figure out how to fix. The footer does two different things.

1. On pages where info is relatively medium amount, footer leaves gap.

2. On pages where info is relatively medium amount, footer overlaps left-bar.

3. On pages where info is relatively large, footer overlaps bottom area of content (covering up info at bottom of STATIC page).

I have a repeating background (1000px x 1px) in content.
I have a fixed image for the footer.

Click on any page to see problem.

#content-container {
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 153px;
}
make bottom padding equal to height of the footer...

Thanks Ashley, but I tried this and it did not work for the pages where there is very little content. I am working on a 21" monitor and when I maximize the browser window, the footer is locked at the bottom as it should be, but then there is large gap between between footer and content-container.

Do I need to define some container heights as 100% ?

Here are some links to pages with a 'gap' in the background.

Thank you for your time.

the footer has absolute positioning so I will be at the bottom.

yes, make content container 100%, try it. Not sure tho.

Thanks again Ashley, but that didn't work either.

I tried moving the background callout to the content-container2. That seems to work BUT, now I can't get it centered.

Check out results here, you will see background now extends all the way to footer on every page, without overlap, but it's stuck on the left side.

#content-container2 {
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}



Any ideas on the centering?

[ARW VISIONS]

put it back to the container and I'll take a look

[MikeBrum]

Ok, I moved it back to where I had it originally:

http://67.20.92.91/store/cart.php

#center {
/* .menu-dialog .content a:link, .menu-dialog .content a:visited, .menu-dialog .content a:link { */
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
}


Still trying to try some things too, but so far, nothing has worked.

put this on content-container not content-container2

background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;

take it off center
