aligning to bottom

[ofer_z]

hi all,

i'm looking for a way to align some text to the bottom of the screen (a footer.) if the text above it is longer than the screen height, i want the footer right after that text, but if that text doesn't fill the screen, i want it align to the bottom of the screen.
anyone has any idea how to achive this with XHTML 1.0 and CSS?

TIA,

i want to align the footer to the bottom of the window.
i used to do this with <table height="100%"> and it seems to work with IE and NS, but it's not valid HTML...


thanks for any help,

Take a look at my site (accessible through the [website] button above this message) and the ghanga|iris|orchid templates. They all have a footer at the bottom which remains in place regardless of how you resize the page. The trick is to use %age divs vertically. Hopefully this will give you some ideas.

Hmmm, DC I think we may be geographically close based on the address of that site ... I live and work in Halifax :)

Yep.

But neither of us seems to be in the phonebook. :cool:

hi,

thaks for the reply.

i was wondering, is there a way to make only the title area and the footer a fixed height and have the content area fill the rest of the screen or do i have to use % height for all the parts?

thanks again,
