OK this is totally unglamourous compared to css but it's a piece of fish, it really is that easy by comparison and it's a trick I learned back in the 90s when I learned how to code the hard way - all notepad and experiementation. Hey maybe there is a bug in it today and it doesn't work under certain browsers, but no-one has ever complained to me and I've build a respectable number of sites for big clients and I've never managed to personally see it fault under NS, IE or FF. So here goes!

Step 1 - Make a table to layout your page in

Step 2 - Give it a vertical height of 98% or somewhere there abouts (you can adjust it a little to taste!)

Step 3 - Place your footer info below your layout table

Et voila! On pages with only a couple of lines content, the footer will show at the bottom of the screen and pages with enough to give it a scroll, it'll just fit in as soon as the content finishes. It's also screen resolution indifferent size 98% is always 98%, it scales. And best of all it requires no scripting which means no headaches!

And if anyone does find a bug, please PM me, I'd love to know what it is so I never put my foot in mouth in front of a client!
