Topic: Include at bottom of page

Subject: Include at bottom of page
Date Posted: 22 September 2003 at 3:40pm

I have this include file that contains my copyright information, active users, etc., I wish to have this file placed 5 <br>'s from the main part of my text. My only problem is that when I only use a few lines of text on a page, the copyright info is dead center of the page. Does anyone know how to place the include 5 <br>'s from the bottom of the text or place it at the bottom of the page?

set it in a table that has a height of 100%.

view the source of this page http://www.lawsonwebservices.com/other/table.asp - http://www.lawsonwebservices.com/other/table.asp for an example.

Well, that worked about as well as a smoke detector with no batteries. You must remember that this is an include file, and that there's other stuff at the top of the page. This puts about 50 blank lines between my content and my copyright info...

lol... the whole page needs to be set inside a table with a height of 100%, not just the part with the footer.

that was just an example of an empty page...

if you can post your code, maybe i can make it work for you.

If your placing the include inside a table, which is aligned in the center, the include will appear in the table, aligned center.

If it's not in the table, try a <div align="left"></div>

Can't help much more unless I see the code.

If you can't do it on your own, your not trying hard enough!

i forgot about spans... i decided that i could use that for some of my pages that i know i won't use all the space... and change the position to position:relative for the stuff that i do use all the space...
