For some reason, the footer has a gap betweeen the body of the page and the footer of the page. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Can anyone help me? Take a look at this page for an example: Industrialpost.com

It is happening on other pages too, but not all. This page: Industrialpost.com Adhesives and sealants shows up fine.

Please help!

On the one that is not working your have this:
<div class="clear"></div>

On the one that is working you don't.

You really should get a copy of Firefox with the Web developer add on (free). You would spot this in seconds. This tool is indispensable if you are trying to develop templates.

You see, the funny thing is I do have Firefox and using Firebug. And I can't see to find why this footer is tripping now. I think it is because I have been looking at the code way too long. I know that it is right in front of me somewhere.

Right click on your web page where you see an issue you want to know more about to get a popup menu. Select "inspect element" from the popup and it will display the code where the mouse was when you right clicked.

No need to search through code, it brings you right to it and displays the css.

Hi Mike, yeah this condition was there before I inserted <div class="clear"></div>. I thought some people would think that this div would be the problem/solution, but it was neither. The problem was with the #content fieldset having a margin-bottom being defined. I removed that and walla! Problem solved! Thanks for the tips on the developer tools, seymourjames.
