Hi, I'm redesigning my site & have created the main new design test page, but when I created a different test page for another section of the site, my footer disappears in IE but shows in Firefox.

The only change in the footer from the first page to the 2nd is I removed an image (that's required on my homepage for an online writing group I'm in).

Here's my footer html in page 1 where it shows fine:

<div id="footer">Copyright &#169; 2004 Brenda Barnhart and <span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dreamscapewebdesigns.com">Dreamscape Web Designs</a></span>. All rights reserved. <span><a href="/site/disclaimer.html">Disclaimer</a></span> | <span><a href="/site/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a></span><br /><br />
      <span><a href="/about/wosib.html"><img alt="To my WOSIB membership page" src="/images/wosib/wosib_app_redfairy.gif" border="0px" /></a></span></div>


The part in green is the only part removed from the other page, so the new footer is like this:

<div id="footer">Copyright &#169; 2004 Brenda Barnhart and <span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dreamscapewebdesigns.com">Dreamscape Web Designs</a></span>. All rights reserved. <span><a href="/site/disclaimer.html">Disclaimer</a></span> | <span><a href="/site/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a></span></div>

But in IE, the footer isn't showing. The page in question:
http://www.brenniesdreamscape.com/test_poems.html

The original page with the code with the image:
http://www.brenniesdreamscape.com/new_design.html

Can anyone help me figure this out? The CSS for the footer is:

#footer {
   position:relative;
   left:auto;
   width:730px;
   text-align:center;
   font-size:9px;
   color:#d8ebff;
   padding-bottom:10px;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It shows fine for me in ie7 but not in ie6, the footer padding from the css is not working in ie6 either.

I noticed that about the padding. I tried margin too with no avail.

This is really odd  Confused

Thank you for checking in both browsers.

I fed your page to the W3C markup validator (http://validator.w3.org) and it was quite unhappy. Line 9 ends with a double-double quote (..."" />)  (or maybe " and two single quotes?) and it was complaining about lone &'s in the text (but that may be a consequence of the first error). Start fixing your code one error at a time and see if that doesn't cure the display problem too.

Dang! I ran my Dreamweaver validator & it reported no errors! Guess I'm not trusting that one anymore. Thanks, I'm on it. ~B

Ok it passes now. Just a few errors in 2 of my meta tags.
