Manipulating main body, menu and credits

  • If we take this page as an example (I’m pretty new to CSS so go easy ??

    I like the way the bottom “credits” element goes right across the bottom of the page, and the line to the left of the menu goes all the way down to it.
    What I am finding in my own attempts to achieve this is that if the main section of my page (ie posts + comments) is very short, then the menu area with it’s vertical line runs right over that part of the credits area. I’d like to prevent that. Is it possible to
    1, force the credits part of the page to stay at the bottom without anything on-top (equivalent to what has been done with the title in that example page)
    2, ensure the menu does not fall underneath that credits area
    or, more simply, make sure all three main parts of the page do not overlap.
    and while I’m asking what does the # mean eg “#header” as opposed to just “.header”, in the CSS.

  • My site is not a good example as it isn’t using much of the WP index page and isn’t XHTML compliant.
    Take a look at some of the styles in the competition – my Golf style does something similar to what you are asking for.
    Basically, if you want the footer all the way at the bottom you have to use “floats”. If you don’t know what that means, time to hit Google. ??
