Urgent Problem: Footer Disappeared!

    My footer just disappeared on www.bizammo.com. I just sold ad space there last night, and need to get the ads up this morning. I previously had an adsense link unit there. All I did was swap out the adsense script (and I'm certain nothing else was removed, since it was wrapped in paragraph tags, and the new info was placed in those same tags... everything between them was all that I removed), and put in some manual links as follows:

    <a href="http://www.directorydump.com/">DirectoryDump Web Directory</a> | Your Ad Here | <a href="http://www.webdirectorybid.com/">Bidding Web Directory</a> | Your Ad Here | Your Ad Here
    Code (markup):
    Then, when I went to preview, the entire footer area was just gone. I'm not seeing any problem with it, and there's no explanation I can think of since all that I removed was an adsense link unit. Please let me know if you have any possible solutions to the problem, so I can take care of these advertisers this morning. :(

    Thanks!

    your footer is appearing after the right side bar
    if you horizontally scroll the window you can see the footer data

    a look at your page source shows 1 div closing tag missing

    just add
    </div>
    Code (markup):
    before
    <div id="footer">
    Code (markup):

    Thanks so much. :) That fixed it. Just for curiosity's sake, is there a specific reason it wouldn't ignore the problem when adsense was in there, but not with standard links (because nothing before the beginning of the footer div was changed when I replaced the adsense code)?

    It might have been due to size of Adsense banner since it was a fixed size and available space after the right sidebar was may be less than that size so it appeared at the bottom
    but when you change it to links that is text which is not fixed size the text got adjusted in the available space at the side of the sidebar
