I have been playing around with transferring my politics website to a wiki, and i've encountered a design issue with the skin i'm using. The footer doesn't stretch all the way to the right in IE7, as you can see here, but it's fine in Firefox. I contacted the person who designed the skin and she doesn't use IE or any miscrosoft products so can't suggest a fix. She uses the skin on her own site, and it does the same thing there, so it's not caused by any other changes i've made to the CSS.
I tried the obvious adding width: 100% to the CSS, but that didn't change anything.
Anyone have any suggestions re: how to fix this in IE?
Note: On the skin designer's site, she uses the same skin/layout both on HTML pages and wiki pages. On the HTML pages, the footer works properly in IE. It only buggers up on the wiki pages, but i'm not sure what is causing it to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That worked! Ta very muchly! If you want to come up with something better, that is entirely up to you - i simply wanted to fix the footer issue, which you have done, so i am happy. :-)
Well I'm getting a horizontal scrollbar, which is probably due to the dodgy margins/paddings used.
I've probably broken something else in the process (:S) but here's a copy of the stylesheets which fixes the horizontal scrollbar - feel free to use/ignore as you see fit.
(And obviously if it does break something else, let me know and I'll fix it.)
Ah yes, i hadn't noticed the scroll bars at first (i was in a bit of a rush as i had to leave for an appointment). I will try your stylesheets and see what happens.
I did try your style sheets and they borked the layout in both FF and IE. I don't have time right now as we're going out shortly, but i will try them again later and take screen shots so that you can see what goes wrong. I've reverted to the original style sheets for the moment.
