Footer and browser issues

[999Dom999]

Here is what I'm working on

http://www.zeonltd.co.uk/zeon/

If you restore down the browser or the low resolution adds a scroll bar when you scroll up and down the footer doesn't automatically adjust to the bottom of the screen.

#footer {

position: absolute;
bottom:0px;
clear: left;
width: 100%;
height:20px;
background: #2b3335;
color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 60%;
padding-top: 5px;


}


Next problem only on IE6 if you restore down and then drag the browser making it smaller the sidebar on the left wanders into the middle of the screen. Its fine in IE7 and firefox.

Also when draging the browser window making it smaller the content column sits above the sidebar on IE7 the content goes underneath is it possible to control this behaviour?

Many thanks for help on this.

Maybe sort out the validation problems first.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

#1: That's how absolute positioning behaves.
#2: That's one of a typical IE6 problems. You should play with removing percentage values and adding arbitrary positioning to elements to see if you can find the culprit.
#3: How would you like to control the behaviour?

I set it to relative but doesn't look good on hi res computers. This is the effect I want

http://steve.pugh.net/test/test57a.html

which uses an absolute postion. Using this template as soon as I add my flash in the content section it goes crazy and all over the place. I'm using the javascript file that flash CS3 uses to stop the annoying click the content to interact with flash but I think its this that causes the css to not format as intented. So I'm a little stuck there. So I guess I will have to leave the footer as relative.

Thanks for the IE6 tip I will play about and see what happens.

I would like the content to overlap the sidebar when the browser gets made smaller it looks better that way. Maybe I being a little fussy as most people won't actually be making there browser so small. Mind you in my company many people still have 800x600 resolution where the content is hiding behind the sidebar in IE.
