My footer has disappeared when I was editing my html but I wasn't working on any of the footer content. I must have accidentally left a tag unclosed or something but I can't seem to find the problem. Since I wasn't working on the footer I can't really paste any code w/o the whole doc so it may be easier for you to double check me with Firebug or something similar.
Well it does make it reappear but that's not my footer's styling. There should be a background graphic instead of just the black space and the font's styling is off. Also, I never edited the #background and the margin-bottom:-51px is what it was when I had my footer. Something else is the culprit.
EDIT: I found it! There was an extra } right before the footer's CSS. Thanks.
