[SOLVED] footer problems in IE6

[Stickybomb]

i have a site with a bottom aligned footer, it shows up fine in moz but in IE6 the footer is about 200px from the bottom for some reason.

 

CSS:

#footer-home {
     position:absolute;
     width:100%; bottom:0px;
     padding:5px; height:15px;
     background-color: #F78E4C;
     color: #FFFFFF; text-align:center;
     font-size: 12px;
     font-family: Optima, Times, Courier;
     font-weight: bold;
}

 

does anyone know what i am doing wrong if anything?

Can I ask why the footer is being positioned absolutely. And maybe a link to see more of the picture if possible?

the footer is being placed absolutely at the bottom of the window no matter what the size of the window using the bottom:0 attribute. i figured it out though thanks anyways.
