I've spend 3 hours try to sort out this annoying problem out. Basically i want the footer to main a defined size, remaining at the very bottom of the page.
What broswer are you on? Looks good in IE and FF on both links -- anyone see anything different? Seems as though what you want is to have the footer "stick" to the bottom of the page no matter what. Try the footeStickAlt method: http://themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/
I am sure we can solve your problem here for free, isnt that what this forum is all about?
I thought that it was some sort of a "min-height" - issue, from which I'd be almost embarrassed to take money. Unless it involves actual hard work, of course. In case it was a fixed footer issue (position:fixed), you'd find a suitable script for that on google for sure. I think I did that once, for IE6 (both ie7 and firefox work fine out-of-the-box).
This might not be the most popular of opinions here, but I'd try asking first and paying later, if the advice and the work put into it was worth it.
the only way you'll be able to keep that footer a specific height and keep it down at the bottom would be to apply a "position:fixed; bottom:0px;" to it.. which isn't directly supported by IE (at least not in the current doctype you have selected).
- Or you can set a "min-height:*px" for the main content (the whitespace) with an "_height:*px"to account for ie's inability to use min-height... draw back to this is resolution. The bottom bar will not be at the bottom for everyone that views the page... it'll always be at whatever height you specified..
- or you can use javascript to automatically adjust the bars position based upon browser size
but to be honest.. the easiest thing to do is bite the bullet..
try something like this:

my knowledge of coding is crap ... hence am asking for assistance. Give me photoshop any day haha. Thanks for the help everyone, but i am unable to sort this out on my own. I need someone to do it for me, hence the reason i am willing to pay.
