I am designing a template page.
I have a page with 2 columns (float left/right)within a wrapper and a footer outside of the wrapper, that clears the left/right float, and butts up to the bottom of the wrapper. I have it set so that as one column expands down, the footer is pushed down. However, on an empty page, the footer comes right up to the top of the page.
Is there a way to set it to automatically start at the bottom of the browser, even on an empty page? I do not want to have to set a manual size on the columns/wrapper because obviously what is aligned bottom to me is different for your resolution. I also do not want to make it an absolute bottom 0 because it will force the footer to stay at that spot, even if the column grows, unless you guys know a way to over ride the absolute positioning if the column dictates the footer be pushed down. I suppose I could manually remove the absolute position on pages that have the additional content but I'd like it automated if possible since it's a generic/template. I just want to load it in, paste in content and have the code take care of the alignment accordingly.
Thanks!
