CSS Postioning

Hello -

I am trying to align center the bottom "footer", so its even with the rest of the page. I've tried a few things and nothing seems to get it to look correct. Was hoping someone could offer a suggestion.

I don't see anything that pretains to centering the footer.

So add #footer{margin:auto} to the CSS.

position: fixed;

means all other posioning has to be ignored.  you are telling the browser where you want it and to keep it there no matter what else occurs.

I will be using your second suggestion of adding the contents into a DIV and using the 100%, thanks
Hmmm...  fast response once the correct code was posted, with a solution you can use and graded a B?

I'll have to remember that in the future.

Hello Cobo -

I ended up using your suggestion along with some other things I found online while I posted this questions.  Changes were made to the stylesheet, I changed

#footer li
I removed float: left;

#footer ul
I added text-align: center;
