The Footer is Fixed »

At long last, I think I have resolved all outstanding issues with the footer. It seems, as usual, that IE and some funky handling of perfectly valid CSS was to blame. So after tinkering with things and breaking the valid CSS so IE could parse it, I've also managed to add enough hacks so that Firebird can handle the footer too, and so that it displays as expected.

I probably shouldn't mention that Firebird handled the footer perfectly well to begin with, and IE was the one that choked. That might bring the Wrath of Bill. So instead of complaining, I will happily continue to work away until my fingers are raw from trying different iterations of valid code to make IE work like it should.

What's that, you haven't seen the footer? Press CTRL-END. It's the stuff between the lines that talks about copyrights and validation and such, way down at the bottom of the page. At least take a look. Please?

I also updated the footer to include a validation link to the page in question, rather than just to the index page by using a little PHP. The problem with this is (gasp) that some of my pages are, well, not exactly vaidating. So I certainly have some more work to do. This should at least make the work a little bit easier.
