IE 8 woes :(

[youradds]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a "Footer" div, i.e one that shows up RIGHT at the bottom of the page ... I have:

#footer { 
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
}

..and have also tried:

#footer
{
  clear: both;
 position: absolute;
  bottom: 0 !important;
  bottom: -1px;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

..but to no avail (works fine in everything, appart from IE 8 )

Is there something else I should be trying?

You can see it in action here:

..the bottom bit:

<div id="footer">
gggg
</div>

..anyone got any suggestions? Its annoying - cos its fine in FF2 and 3, IE 6 and 7 - just not IE 8 (man, I hate M$ sometimes :/)

TIA!

Andy

Interesting - if I shrink the browser window, it works fine - but as soon as a I go to full screen resolution, it buggers up - mmmm

Why do you care if your page works on a beta browser? You will have to fix things over and over again if you will try supporting unfinished products.

Ya, think you are right - just had a look at some VERY big sites, and even they don't work in IE 8 (ebay for example) - so I guess the IE developers have still got a lot of work (personally, I couldn't care less if my stuff worked in IE full stop - but my clients would =)). I hate it with vengance (I only ever use IE for testing purposes - otherwise, its FF for me all the way <G>)

Cheers
