Re: Footer, the beast

The Footer is much difficult one to use. I have an HTML page with 3
columns with different heights. If I set the height of <html>,<body>
and every column and container at "100%" or "auto" I see that the
container <div>, that contains these 3 columns, has not the max height
of the tallest column but it has the height of the displayed page and
than the footer is positionated not at the bottom of the page but at
the basis of the displayed page. I have seen a lot of people that
leave to use Footer. I can't understand why it has to be so difficult.

From a practical point of view: where do you define the 'bottom' of a web page? At the end of your HTML-document? At the bottom of the viewport? What exactly do you mean by referring to the 'bottom'?
You see: it all boils down to UA viewport dimensions. Where would you locate your footer on a 480x320px display (iPhone) versus a UA that accomodates 600px x 1000px?
