co.ador Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What's the best way to go about creating a footer for a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMV Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 That depends entirely on the rest of your code, perhaps some indication as to what you are using now and what your footer requirements are. The most common now is to add another div to your HTML and style it using CSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co.ador Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Right now I have a file called footer.php and i have the following simple code in it. <div class="footer"> <p>Copyright (c) 2009</p> </div> </body> </html> is that enough? is it now working that great. The CSS is .footer { height: 4em; } and another page called header.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <link type="text/css" href="../stylesheets/webpageprueba.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <title>ShoesStore</title> <body> but it is not working that good because it is not displaying in the bottom of the page but behind the form... having some difficulties and I need some help in store.php I have added the files header.php and footer.php through the include function as below, is that ok? <?php include("../includes/header.php"); ?> <form action="example.php"> <fieldset class="primero"> <legend>Search For a store</legend> <fieldset> <legend>Postal Address</legend> <label for="street">Street address</label> <input id="street" name="street" type="text" /> <label for=" suburb">Suburb</label> <input id="suburb" name="suburb" type="text" /> <label for="state">State</label> <input id="state" name="state" type="text" /> <label for="postcode">Postcode</label> <input id="postcode" name="postcode" type="text" /> </fieldset> <fieldset class="tercero" style="border-color:#FFFFFF" > <legend>Services</legend> <ol> <li> <input type="checkbox" name="example" value="delivery" />Delivery<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="example" value="tv" />Tv<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="example" value="parking" />Parking<br /> </li></ol> </fieldset> </fieldset> <fieldset> <?php include("../includes/footer.php"); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no requirement for a footer, if it works for you and you are happy then so be it. If you are trying to accomplish something specific then please ask something more specific. A website can be plain text if you want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would suggest to structure the page you don't break it up the way you are. I would typically do something like: index.php [docytype...] [meta...] // Maybe include dynamic meta <?php include('meta'); ?> <html> <body> <?php include('header.php'); ?> <?php include('menu.php'); ?> [my index page content] <?php include('footer.php'); ?> </body> </html> Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co.ador Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 you deserve it bro.. Now you have just made me realize that I am building the actual index.php I had it with another name but that's what I really wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
