It's similar to what I've got now but it's all done with CSS, which is good, but is bad...

I'll start with a little problem, how do I get that bar at the bottom to be at the bottom of the page, not just the window. It's got to be something with placing it in respect to the bottom of the main window but I'm not sure how to do it...

I also tried to put the box underneath the menu but when you make the text bigger the menu spaces out more meaning the bottom two bits dissappear behind the window! How can I get it to move when the bottom of that menu moves too?

I' still working and playing about with it but that's the main problem that I've got. I'll probably sort the others myself.

Sorry if you don't understand, I'm in a rush, I'll explain better tomorrow if I have to...

Ignore me, but I thought he wanted it to align to the bottom of the browser window not the page. Though your right, he should be using relative positioning. As for where ot appears in the HTML, this is irrelevant as its the CSS on the DIV which controls where it appears, thats the idea of CSS, you can structure the mark up however you like so he could put his footer content in line one of the HTML but have the CSS tell it to display it at the bottom! (That didn't make sense did it?)

I guess I'm confused about the situation.

If the segment is written into the code at the bottom of the html file, then it would be the last part of the web page, and so naturally be at the bottom??

What am I missing here??

Does phi11ip want something which I haven't noted correctly??

Again it needs something to be relatve to hence:

html body {height:100%;)

Getting an element to align to bottom without any problems is actually quite a pain, almost as painfull as trying to center thing both horizontally and vertically!

Two purely aesthetic things:
The font colour of your navbox's when you hover them doesn't stand out against the background at all, and the logo is too wide for the page.

I like the colour scheme :-)

This one is difficult as its quirky on browsers. you first have to define the total page height:

html,body {height:100%;}

The your bottom div should align bottom ok: i.e.

#bottom {
position:bottom;
bottom: 0px;
}

Like I said, it's quirky and has some rather bizare results in some browsers. Have a lfick through ALA (www.alistapart.com)

Some of this can be resolved using z-index and relative placement. otherwise youll have to fix your font sizes. Bit vaugue, need more information. If I get a chance, I'll have a look at the CSS file later tonight.
