basically the problem is lets say i have a 1000px container and underneath the conmtainer i have a footer with 100% width, well this works fine until u minimize the page and then a scrollbar appears and once u scroll across there is then a gap. here is the link to my example http://www.weblayoutsrus.com/test.html any ideas ?
It's not that the footer doesn't extend the full width of body (its parent), it does. The problem is that your container overflows the body. Put the footer inside the container and all is well. Otherwise, remove the width from the container. cheers, gary
but if i put the footer inside the container the most its going to be able to stretch to is 100%, where as i wanted the footer to be 100% of the screen, can you think of any ways around it ? this problem been anoying me for hours now !!!
ok ive manged to fix it by setting the body min-width:1000px; however this only works in firefox, does anyone know how to fix the IE bug for it .
