Prolly easy xhtml question

[M.D.]

Hi,

I have html page.
I want part of it (few lines) to be at the bottom of the page no matter what, even if i get scrollers and even if i got half page filled only.

I am validatin gin xhtml, so it wont let me make table with height 100% or something like that, dunno why.

I am aware of floating text, but it seems that it will hide the text i will have in the page ....

Any solution?

To make a table height 100%, add this to your table tag as shown below:

<table style="height: 100%;">

If you want to get into positioning text in a fixed or absolute position, it gets a little more complex. Are you looking for the text to scroll with the page and always be at the very bottom no matter how long it is? If so, add the following to your table tag:

<table width="100%" style="position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px;">

Now, I did this a little quickly so if I've messed something up, let me know.
Hope this helps,

the style you wrote put the desired text at the bottom, but:
when i scroll down it stays in its position and doesnt go dow as well.
In addition it hides the text behind it, i want it to be in the document and not over it...

I just want that the middle section have its scroller and the bottom part will stay always at bottom, but not hiding or going over the middle part as it scrolls...

I think you're looking for "fixed" positioning, which unfortunately does not work properly with I.E. 5+, but there are workarounds. THIS SITE probably has the best solution to emulate "position: fixed" in Internet Explorer. It's also good because there is no Javascript involved so that lowers the complexity level a tad. I have played around with this a bit, but not enough to explain it to you in an articulate manner. Let us know if you have any trouble though.

It sounds like the effect you are looking for could be achieved with frames, although using frames has issues as well.
