    Default Why is my footer at the top of my page?

    For some odd reason my footer, more specifically the copyright info, appears at the very top of the page. The text is in white so you have to select it to read it, but its at the very top center of the page.

    I'm trying to have the copyright appear just below the mainContentWrapper, so that it moves as the mainContentWrapper changes size to accommodate the content (if that makes sense).

    My page is electricavenue.us.


    If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Are you "down-under" in Australia, perhaps?

    Either stand on your head, or turn your computer screen upside-down...

    ... (okay, jokes aside... I'll take a look and if I see something obvious, I'll come back here.)

    Not easy to see where the problem is, because you've done a lot of work on the custom template (which looks very handsome, by the way!).

    Revert to CLASSIC template, to see if problem replicates (which I doubt), but you'll have to carefully inspect your template edits to see where the fault may lie.

    That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Not only is your screen upside-down, now you're seeing "double"as well.

    you have few of your elements set to absolute position.
    such as mainwrapper , #contentMainWrapper , ,

    in order for absolute works, you need to have its parent elements set to relative ..

    for start , if you remove those position , you will see you footer is back to its location ..

    Thanks Tony, it worked like an 'effin gem.

    Now for some reason when I go to the "sample set" category, the mainWrapper gets offset 8px to the left.

    Ah it was a problem with the "margin:auto" setting on the mainWrapper.

    Thanks everyone!
