I’ve spent several hours searching for a solution and have not found the exact fix for my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Setup:
Internet Explorer 7
Joomla 1.5.8
JA-Sanidine II
phpBB3 wrapped within site

Problem:
I’ve just recently noticed on my test environment that when I wrap content within my site the footer will “float” on this specific page only. It doesn’t happen every time the page is accessed. Sometimes the footer will appear in the correct position, but if you refresh or navigate within the page it then floats and overlaps the wrapped content.

I have turned off the visiblity of the footer via menu assignments, but there is still an overlap. I can’t figure out if this is an issue with the template or the wrapper. Can someone please tell me what I need to modify to resolve this issue?

Example Images:
Floating Footer
Floating graphic – footer disabled

Template.css code:
<blockquote>/* FOOTER
——————————————————— */
#ja-footer {
clear: both;
position: relative;
padding: 8px 20px;
margin: 0 10px;
color: #666666;
text-align: center;
border-top: 1px solid #1D1D1D;
background: #2F2F2F;
}

#ja-footer small {
font-size: 100%;
}

#ja-botnav {
background: #1D1D1D;
border-top: 1px solid #333333;
border-bottom: 1px solid #333333;
clear: both;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 5px 0;
text-align: center;
}

#ja-botnav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#ja-botnav li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 10px;
background: url(../images/vline.gif) no-repeat left center;
display: inline;
}

#ja-botnav li a {
color: #999999;
}

#ja-botnav li a:hover, #ja-botnav li a:active, #ja-botnav li a:focus {
color: #FFFFFF;
}</blockquote>

Please help me!!!

Hello,

Is it possible for you to provide me/us with a live link ? So that we can try and scratch our heads a bit more?

Here is the live link: oWs Forum

Like I mentioned before, this floating footer/graphic doesn’t happen every time the page is loaded. You might access it and see that the footer is in the proper position and if so try refreshing the page or opening a forum category to experience what I am having an issue with.

Thank you for your time and help!

Hello,

I checked the page on 3 different terminals, and checked all the different pages. Did not see a problem. Maybe its a cache / cookies issue. Did you try deleting them ?

Sorry, am not much help to you on this one.

Regards.
Mihir C.

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem. It only happens with IE6 or 7. With chrome and firefox there’s no problem.

@salvaje: I can see the problem on your page.

You can see my floating copyright-footer on apox.be
on the frontpage, open the god of war-article. The footer at the bottom is gone and it wil be somewhere on the page, in the middle of the text or on a video, other module,…. when you press F5 it changes its place.

It only happens on pages with embedded media. First I thought it was a media plugin-problem but it happens with allvideoplayer and with easytube. I found a lot of forums with the same problems posted, but it was a ja_purity-template problem. For example

Disabling the footer is no option because then the floating part becomes a horizontal black line:confused:

I think it is a template-problem just like in the ja_purity template.

It is good to hear that I am not crazy. I’m still hoping someone will take a closer look into the footer code for this template and find what is causing this to happen in IE6 and IE7.

If someone does find a fix posted on another site please link!!!

Dear salvaje !
I have checked your site on IE7 but can’t see the problem , but i have a idea for this case, please try to fix it following way below :
Open template.css file find following code section at about line 1181 :


#ja-footer {
background:#2F2F2F none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-top:1px solid #1D1D1D;
clear:both;
color:#666666;
margin:0 10px;
padding:8px 20px;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
}

change to :


#ja-footer {
background:#2F2F2F none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-top:1px solid #1D1D1D;
clear:both;
color:#666666;
margin:0 10px;
padding:8px 20px;
text-align:center;
}
