http://www.strangedarkness.com/sparth/ everything should be fine now

fixed it, although its not really the soloution i wanted but it works. I just added an extra 3% on to the height...

Seb, try adding extra <br> tags or <p> tags below your content to bring the footer down a bit.

Thas a bit cheap. I think adding 3% to my CSS rule is a better idea but thanks anyway.

just read that and it sounds offensive - its not meant to be.

Thanks
