Do you have everything laid out within a table? If so, just make the footer cell stretch to 100%... I think.

Prolly best off waiting for someone who actually knows what they're talking about xD

It's not in a table, it's divcity for the most part. I'm using a table to make some buttonz as per Superjer's suggestion, but none other than that. I was hoping that
would be my jamrock but it most certainly isn't. I also tried setting just the height to 100%.



lulz, I've never seen LMGTFY, that's pretty good. Srsly though google is the first link in Sunshine Walker's Chain of Help™ so I've definitely googled the crap out of it. Now that it's crap-free, all that I'm left with is my sorrow and some wrinkled-up handout from high school about keeping your head down and remaining silent...

I thought I had already replied to this but I guess not. Oh well, I present for your reading pleasure for the first time again:

I tried all sorts of combinations of height, min-height, and max-height to no avail. The only solutions I found were either javascript or this one kinda janky CSS hack that didn't do exactly what I wanted - it wouldn't expand up to the bottom of the main content when there was more whitespace above the fold than the min-height of the footer, it only made sure the footer was on the bottom.

I think the more time passes the less I worry about using javascript for compatibility reasons, especially with all of the hot progressive enhancement techniques out there. While ultimately I decided to just draw the fixed-length footer right after the content (even if that means the footer is sometimes in the middle of the page with hella whitespace below it), I would have employed javascript if I was hellbent on this sweet-ass design feature.

Thanks!
