Links list running over into footer

  • Hi all,

    I have a small problem with my blog – when it is viewed normally, it’s okay, but when there is not enough content, the links list on the right runs into the footer and beyond.

    For instance, here where I have enough content on the page, there is no problem, but here where the content is minimal, the menu/calendar on the right flow over. Does anybody know how I can ensure that this doesn’t happen?

    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Are you using floats? Then you perhaps should add an element below the left and right float that clears both…. Okay, I better show it on an example as my English in the morning is really only barely usable ….
    <div id=”wrap”>
    <div id=”leftfloat” style=”float:left”>…</div>
    <div id=”rightfloat” style=”float:right”>…</div>
    <div id=”footer” style=”clear:both”>…</div>
    </div>

    The footer with its clear attribute basically tells the wrap element, how long it should be ??

    Hi zeroK,

    Thanks for your help. I tried what you suggested and it doesn’t seem to have worked. I’m a beginner in understanding how to use <div> tags (I don’t quite get them yet), so excuse me if I’m making a stupid mistake.

    I didn’t do exactly as you wrote. This is what I did:
    There was already a <div id=”rap”> – should I have a separate one called <div id=”wrap”>? When I changed the “wrap” to “rap”, it centered all my text…

    Previously, I had these <div> tags: <div id=”footer”>, <div id=”menu”> and <div id=”left”>, so I changed them to <div id=”footer” style=”clear:both”>, <div id=”menu” style=”float:right”> and <div id=”left” style=”float:left”>. Is that enough, or should I change the ids too to match your suggested ones? I don’t want to make too many changes, because I don’t know how these changes affect the css…

    Also, the footer <div> is above the left and menu divs in the HTML – does the order of the div tags in the HTML matter?

    Thanks again for your assistance!
