829600 2009-11-12 21:33:00 Just tried the link in three different browsers, all identical FF, IE8 & Lunascape.

All show This layout (www.imagef1.net.nz) - should there be more ???

829601 2009-11-12 21:48:00 Itl be because of the unnecesary divs and classes

Try something like this


<div id="footer"><!--THIS ID IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE SETTING SIZE AND COLOUR OF FONT ETC-->
<span class="left">
Jim<br />
Jim Jams<br />
Invercargill<br />
03 123 4567
</span>
<span class="right">
<a href="privacy.html" target="_blank">privacy</a>
</span>
</div>

829602 2009-11-12 21:50:00 in IE6 on my machine the orange text at the bottom is not appearing

The bizarre thing is that when I tried the page at browsershots.org the orange text appears in their IE6

And yes I have refreshed my browser,
Deleted cookies, cache
changed the name of the css file (to elimimate cacheing)
everything I can thing of, but the orange text doesn't appear at the bottom of the page

829603 2009-11-12 21:54:00 And put this in your stylesheet


#footer{
color:#whatever the colour your using is;
font-size:10px or whatever you want it;
}

829604 2009-11-12 21:59:00 Eureka!

well ok I don't know how to fix it but I have figured that the text is appearing, below where the browser can scroll to.

I commented out the Footer margins in the CSS and now I can partially see the orange text, not sure what to do from there,

It'll be something to do with IE and margins so I'll have to apply padding to a paragraph in the footer?

any help would be great

Umm I already have a footer section in the CSS that actually seems to be what is causing part of the problem, still havent tracked down whats causing the rest of it,
The unnecessary divs and class you refer to are part of the vcard spec which google now parses, so i do want them there.

829606 2009-11-12 22:07:00 If your container is working properly then that will contain the footer. So you shouldnt need to pad the footer. Its hard to help without having ie6 running sorry.

Have you tried it without those extra divs and spans? It might be new to google but ***ty old ie6 doesnt know that :thumbs:

Yep and it makes not one iota of difference

Yep I suspect something breaking it but I can't figure out what
