My entire website is structured with DIV and in the footer are two more float:left DIV to separate some text. I placed a background image in my footer DIV and mainContent DIV but they won't show up. While the background image in my header DIV did.
Any help would be appreciated!
STYLESHEET
Code:
@charset "UTF-8";
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #666666;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
}
/* Tips for Elastic layouts
1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.

thanks the clearfix did work for the footer.
i added the same clearfix property together with display:inline-block to the DIV container mainContents and display:block to the two floats inside the container, but the container did not expand to wrap the floats inside it. any suggestions?
