Table Alignment probelm

[mavrickccs]

I have a table that runs along the bottom of the page as a footer. It has the copyright, all that jazz.

I also have CSS repeating on the Y axis, aligned left for a side bar ... has that wave effect going like htmlgoodies.com used to have.

Now, when viewed at a higher resolution like 1280x1024 the table at the bottom of the screen stays in position... under everything else... but the side bar continues repeating a little bit making the table look like its suspended in the middle of the page.

Is there a way to align the table at the very bottom, no matter what.. or to stop the sidebar at a certain point?

I've tried using this in the bottom table tag:

style="position: absolute; bottom:0px;"

..which works until you get to a page where you have to scroll, then the bottom table is locked into position and ends up overlapped everything at the scroll point..

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It would probably be easier to fix if we could look at it. Do you have the page online anywhere?

sure man, I put it up on yahoo real quick. Just the front page.. no images except the side bar, but you can see the problem just fine.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="10" class="table-bg-black">
<center><a href="mailto:webmaster@tmkdesignstudios.com"><font size="1" color="#CCCCCC">Webmaster</font></a></center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I don't see where you specify the position in that code, and I don't see it in the stylesheet either. Where exactly is the tag that specifies it?

Its not in the code. I removed it because it didn't work.

Will you add it back? I am not getting a good visual of what you are trying to do.

if you make your screen resolution something like 1280x1024 ...and you look at my "site" .. that bottom bar that says "webmaster" is not at the bottom of the page.. it's hanging near the middle, and the sidebar continues going down the page.

What I would do is to remove the wave image from the body part of your CSS and put it in the table, then at the bottom of the table I would probably round the corner into your footer to make it flow properly into the footer. This way you would have only white space at the bottom and it would flow well into the footer.

I dont know how to do that. If I did it would probably involve recoding the entire page, and all 5-6 subpages involved in the website. I don't think that's an option.

What editor are you using to code the site?

I will look at it later tonight and see if I can give you an example.

[mavrickccs]

Doesn't really matter what editor I'm using Mairving.. Notepad, Dreamweaver, Frontpage.. its still from-scratch code that I'll have to rewrite.

[mairving]

Actually it does matter what editor. Many WYSIWYG editors have a way to change a bunch of pages at once. I use Homesite some which is for hand coders and it has a replace function so that I can change every file in a directory. Of course, most sites that I do, there is only one file to replace anyway.

[mavrickccs]

Well in that case I'm using dreamweaver. I just need a way to fix this problem, lol. If there was a better way I should have taken in doing this part of the site, do tell... Help is great, ya know? Help, help, help
