Simple positioning problem..

[lpeek]

Hey Hey,

im working on a site and have come across a wee problem...

I have a coloured bar that goes right the way across the page at the bottom, 50px from the bottom... I want it to always be this distance which i have achieved with position:absoloute...

but the problem is if the users screen is small, or they have resized the browser window the coloured bar overlaps the content of the page as its positioned absoloute to the page...

how could i get it to stay the 50px from the bottom... unless it reaches the bottom on the main content div? then it stays there and goes off the screen?

any ideas?

Regards

Without seeing any code, I would say you are looking for position: fixed.
Or maybe a margin-bottom? or padding-bottom?
Can't say for sure without a link to the page or the code being posted.

Ah yess silly me...

link to the site: libertysnails.users50.webfusion.co.uk

and the code for the main wrap and for the coloured bar:

div#wrap { width: 850px; left:50%; margin-left: -425px; position:relative; float: left; }

div#PinkBar { width:100%; height:28px; background-color:#f4018b; position:relative; bottom:30px; left:0px; }

So, you want it so that the pink bar is 'always' 50 px up from the bottom of the viewport?
