Expanding textareas and footers

[chomedey]

Hi all,

 

I have used a jquery plugin to make my textareas expand when necessary, and all is working great.

 

The problem is that my footer text (copyright and all that) stays put as the textarea expands, so the text beneath the textarea (and the textarea itself if it grows enough) crashes in to the footer text making a god awful mess.

 

Is there any way I can get the footer text to move down the page as the textarea expands?  It is in a completely separate div from the main content column, although they are both in a maincontainer div.

 

Does that make any sense?

 

Cheers.

Test drive the textarea in the main content. Often, sidebars, (float left or right) don't flow with the page. Though collums that dont use it, so maybe margin left and right. Causing it to be center collum.. works perfectly fine.

(I had this issue with collums.. it's not the textarea's fault)

 

Also, this is a css problem I'm assuming. This post should of been in the CSS section. Not PHP.

Try this in your footer.

div.footer {

clear: both;

}

If that does not work try putting the footer div below the main div.
