Gap at the bottom of page with Internet Explorer

[chris...@googlemail.com]

Hi,
Hi,

Got to say that I love the framework (and I'm not just saying that to
get my question answered;-)). Using the framework has given me a great
introduction to baseline grids and speeded up my development. At the
moment I am doing my first Wordpress theme which I am also using the
framework for. I have written a form extension (in dodgy code as I'm a
relative novice) as I found the forms didn't line up in the grid.

Anyway as per the subject; I have a footer but it doesn't sit flush to
the bottom of the browser window in IE (7 as currently 6 doesn't work
very well at all). It works in FF and browsers with the Web Kit
rendering engine. There was a larger gap but I altered the following
the in the screen.css:
.clearfix:after, .container:after {content:".";display:block;height:
0;clear:both;visibility:hidden;}

to

.clearfix:after {content:".";display:block;height:
0;clear:both;visibility:hidden;}
.container:after {;height:0;clear:both;visibility:hidden;}

As you can see I removed content: "." from the container class.

The URL is betagrid.co.uk

You can try putting overflow:auto or overflow:hidden (for safari and
IE) for .container, but youll still have a gap if last element inside
.container has .clearfix applied. (i used overflow on him too.)

But im no expert at this.

I tried the following code:
.clearfix:after, .container:after {overflow:hidden;

content:".";display:block;height:0;clear:both;visibility:hidden;}

and also applying overflow:hidden on .container

is this what you did?

.clearfix, .container {overflow:auto;}

I think i just did this, you also have to remove :after pseudo class.
But mind you, this is tricky, as you need to be careful not to get
scrollbars on divs (if your content is larger then container, and
safari always uses scrollbars when overflow is set to auto IIRC)

After coming back to the site that had this issue I realised that
.container was in the wrong place. Bit of a school boy error but I
suppose these things happen when you use something new for the first
time. It was after my header (the first span-24).

Don't worry, these things still happen to the best of us!

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for but it has worked
great for me:
