Footer area issue

Hi,

I accidentally messed up my footer. I downloaded the theme again and copy, pasted the footer php in the theme editor. The footer is back but the problem is that my pre-footer sidebars have slipped into main footer area. There is no white background behind my pre-footer area as it used to. How to fix it?

I did not copy the default footer php mistakenly…

Here, have a look at this screenshot of my footer.
