Why is my DIV falling down the page?

**Jesdisciple** · 08-10-2008, 04:04 AM

My problem is at http://jesdisciple.110mb.com/; I believe the layout is from here. The content div, because it has 100% width, refuses to stay beside the menu div.

But the page hasn't always had this problem; where'd I mess up? Thanks!

looks right to me...

Scroll down the page to "So... This is my home page (for now)." That should be up top. The problem is more severe on longer pages, e.g. http://jesdisciple.110mb.com/site.php.

add this:

Code:

#leftcolumn {
background:#5588CC none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-right:3px solid #CC8855;
float:left;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
width:247px;
}

That's a step in the right direction, but now the footer is stalking the content... http://jesdisciple.110mb.com/

Thanks!

Code:

#contentwrapper {
float:left;
height:100%;
padding-bottom:24px;
width:100%;
}

and...

Code:

#footer {
background:black none repeat scroll 0 0;
clear:both;
color:#FFFFFF;
display:block;
height:24px;
padding:4px 0;
text-align:center;
width:100%;
}

That almost did it. Check the Site section; the content goes off the page. I think I remember it doing this before...

no problem

Erm... I apparently edited my post as you submitted yours.

But I really do appreciate your help either way.

Well, firebug is really going nuts on me... so I can't reallly do much to try to help... but my first suggestion would be to try putting the

Code:

<div id="footer">© 2008 Jesdisciple</div>

OUTSIDE the maincontent DIV, preferably right before the </body> tag
