Im having some trouble with getting the sticky footer right. If someone could help me fix this it would be very much appreciated.

 

Heres my HTML code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0

var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;

}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0

var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();

var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)

if (a.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a;}}

}

 

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01

var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}

if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];

for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);

if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;

}

 

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0

var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)

if ((x=MM_findObj(a))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}

}

Now here is my Reset CSS file:

 

 

@charset "UTF-8";

/* CSS Document */

 

/* http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

v2.0 | 20110126

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,

a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,

del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,

small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,

b, u, i, center,

dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,

fieldset, form, label, legend,

table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td,

article, aside, canvas, details, embed,

figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup,

menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary,

time, mark, audio, video {

padding: 0;

border: 0;

font-size: 100%;

font: inherit;

vertical-align: baseline;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

/* HTML5 display-role reset for older browsers */

article, aside, details, figcaption, figure,

footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {

display: block;

}

body {

line-height: 1;

background-color: #FFFFF6;

}

ol, ul {

list-style: none;

}

blockquote, q {

quotes: none;

}

blockquote:before, blockquote:after,

q:before, q:after {

content: '';

content: none;

}

table {

border-collapse: collapse;

border-spacing: 0;

}

 

 

 

Finally here is my CSS file i have been working on:

 

@charset "UTF-8";

/* CSS Document */

 

#header { height: 150px;

background-color: #FFFFF6;

background-image: url(images/header.png);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

text-align: center;

background-position: center;

 

 

}

 

#nav { height: 100px;

margin-top: 30px;

background-color: #FFFFF6;

text-align: center;

 

}

 

#content {

height: 500px;

margin-top: 30px;

backgorund-color: #FFFFF6;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

 

#quote { height: 50px;

margin-top: 30px;

background-color: #FFFFF6;

 

}

 

.footer, .push { height: 4em;

 

 

}

 

#footer {

height: 100px;

margin-top: 30px;

background-color: #000000;

color: #FFFFFF;

font-size: 16px;

padding-top: 30px;

text-align: center;

 

}

 

.footer_text {

font-size: 16px;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

text-align: center;

}

 

.footer_text_left {

text-align: left;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 16px;

}

 

#wrapper { width: 850px;

background-color: #FFFFF6;

margin: 0 auto -4em;

height: auto !important;

height: 100%;

 

 

}

 

a {

font-family: Arial Black, Gadget, sans-serif;

color: #000;

background-image: url(images/nav_bar_01.png);

}

a:link {

text-decoration: none;

}

a:visited {

text-decoration: none;

color: #309;

}

a:hover {

text-decoration: none;

color: #ff7b05;

}

a:active {

text-decoration: none;

color: #09F;

}

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your help,

Looks like you are missing a couple lines of CSS:

 

html, body {
height: 100%;
}

and

 

min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;

on your #wrapper. You also need to place your header and #push within the wrapper and update the height of your footer. Your code says the footer should be 4em high (".footer, .push { height: 4em; }"), but it is actually 160px high (100px + 30px of top margin and padding.) Also the 500px height you have set on #content may be causing the page to be longer than necessary.
