IE7 footer disappears

Hi all,

http://medicalactive.co.uk/

In IE7, when I put mouse over the "your details are protected" tool tip at the bottom of green form, my footer background disappears.

Any ideas?

Thank you

 

Don't know if this will fix it but seems relevant. There is a missing closing span tag in this line (added in red):

<a href="#" class="priv">Your details are protected<span class="dec">We are registered and comply with <br/>the Data Protection Act (1998)[COLOR="red"]</span>[/COLOR]</a>

Code (markup):

 

Thanks heaps. it worked.

 

Cheers Nebula.

@OP, If you had validated using w3c validator you would have fixed it much earlier without even posting at DP. My suggestion is use validator.

 

On that point, do you know of a tool that specifically finds extra tags? I have been looking for one but found nothing so far.
I want something that works like Firebug and shows where all the misplaced tags are. Wishful thinking perhaps but I want it ASAP

 

Span in ie always causes problems i stay away from it because of this

 

I've got another IE7 issue for you guys if you don't mind.

http://toplifecover.co.uk/ - press Search Now button and on the next page the button is shifted upwards a little. (as per here http://toplifecover.co.uk/images/ie7.jpg)

Here is the css class for this button. I've added "position:absolute" and it fixed the issue in other browsers but not IE7.

form#final-step input#fin-sub{
width:115px;
height:125px;
margin-top:88px;
border:none;
cursorointer;
background:url('img/fin-sub.png') -30px -1px no-repeat;
position:absolute;
}

any ideas?
