CSS layout with dynamic height and fixed footer at bottom

Asked by DarthSonic in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: css, firefox, ie, opera, safari

I am trying to layout a website with css. In Firefox 3 the layout is working perfectly, but not in IE7 and Opera 9.51. Did not yet try other browsers.

Maybe you can help. When calling the webpage http://www.computeruniverse.net/css/layout_test_1.htm in Firefox 3.0 you will see a perfect version of the layout with fixed footer at the bottom that will npt overlap the content but will move with the browser window (as fas as content begins).

In IE7 the footer is static positioned at the end of the content. Should be as in Firefox 3.0.
