zimmo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I have followed the userguide as suggested by Haku. Now I need to change things to fit what I am doing, but following this guide has really helped, the sticker footy issue one. I am unsure as to why the footer does not stretch the full width of the window, it is as though it has a 10px padd on either side... but I have followed this guide and when I view their site it fills the entire width of the screen as mine does not. html <!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"> <title>Page title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="drive.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <div id="wrap"> <div id="headercontainer"> <div class="header"> <img src="images/logo.gif" width="480" height="180" alt="Crafty Cakes" style="vertical-align:top"/> </div> </div> <div id="contentcontainer"> <div id="content"> <div class="left"> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> <p>Content Here Left</p> </div> <div class="right"> <p>Content Here Right</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footercontainer"> <p>Footer Text Here</p> </div> </body> </html> CSS html, body { height: 100%; } body { font:11pt Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; background-color:#999999; line-height:1.3em; color:#444444; background-image: url(inc/mainbackground.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: center top; } #wrap { min-height: 100%; width: 100%; } /* Containers */ #headercontainer { height: 200px; } #contentcontainer { overflow:auto; padding-bottom: 150px; /* must be same height as the footer */ margin:0 auto; /* center, not in IE5 */ } #footercontainer { position: relative; margin: 0px; margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */ height: 150px; clear:both; background: #444444 url('inc/footer.gif') repeat-x; color:#ffffff; font-size:11px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; } /*End Containers */ /*Opera Fix*/ body:before { content:""; height:100%; float:left; width:0; margin-top:-32767px;/ } /*Internal divs */ .header { width: 1024px; margin:0 auto; /* center, not in IE5 */ } #content { width: 1024px; margin:0 auto; /* center, not in IE5 */ } .left { width: 200px; float: left; color: #ffffff; } .right { width: 700px; float: right; color: #ffffff; } Have I missed something? If you try this code you will see its not the full width?

haku Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Try adding: body { margin:0; padding:0; } You should start using a CSS reset sheet (google it). It will prevent problems like this in the future.

James25 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 hmmm, maybe you could add body { margin:0; padding:0; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204416-footer-working-but-background-image-issue-now/#findComment-1071726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 You mean exactly like I told him to do two posts above yours? The post to which he replied that it worked? Is that what you mean?
