Question

Hate to bring another sticky footer question but after hours of looking for answers over the course of two days I give up.

Here's my the page in question: http://aaronisdead.com/sites/kanwakan/kanwakan.html

Here's my HTML architecture

<html>
 <head>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<div class="headercenter"><img src="kanwakanheader.png"></div>
     </header>

    <div class="mainwrap">
            <div class="left">
                <img src="featonspin.png">
                <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/78659516" width="464" height="257" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
            </div>
            <div class="right">
                <img src="featoncarson.png">
                <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/86751056" width="464" height="257" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
            </div>
            <div class="bandpic">
                <img src="bandpic.jpg">
            </div>
            <div class="text">
</div>
    </div>
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="push"></div>
    </div>

<div class="footer">
    <div id="footwrap">
        <div id="leftcol">
            <img id="email" src="bottomcontact.png">
        </div>
        <div id="rightcol">
            <img id="andlogo" src="bottomlogos.png">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Annnd here's my CSS.

.mainwrap {
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
width:950px;
top:75px;
height:100%;
}

.right {
position:relative;
width:50%;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
float:right;
padding:0 0 30 0;
}

.left {
position:relative;
padding-bottom:0px;
width:50%;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
float:right;
left:10px;
}

/*HEADER*/

.headercenter {
width:375px;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
}

header {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:75px;
background:#000000;
}

/*FOOTER STUFF*/

#email, #andlogo {
height:75px;
}

#footwrap {
width:950px;
height:75px;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
}

#leftcol {
float:left;
width:50%;
}

#rightcol {
float:right;
width:50%;
}

/*ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY PAGE PROPERTIES*/

body {
background-image:url("background.jpg");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-height:100%;
background-repeat:repeat;
background-position:center;
}

* {
margin: 0;
}

html, body {
height: 100%;
}

.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -75px;
}

.footer {
width:100%:
position:absolute;
background:#000000;
z-index:999;
}

.footer, .push {
height: 75px;
}

I'm not sure what's causing this; I've included a lot of information because of this. If you're taking the time pour through all this you would be helping me in a very big way in understanding sticky footers, a skill I'll be able to use as a web developer forever. Thank you.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Remove height: 100% from .mainwrap and move it inside the .wrapper.
