    Hi

    When viewing my site on IE, I notice there is a two tone grey area at the bottom of the footer. It looks completely different in FF, but what I need to do is get rid of the surplus grey space.

    The page height is already set at 100% so I can't move the page down any more. I've been playing with the padding, but that hasn't helped much. Can anyone shed some light on how I can fix this?

    The issue occurs in IE.

    Many thanks

    I see what you're talking about - it looks like that's happening because the page content isn't long enough to take up an entire screen. I would try adding a few lines to the copy on that page to see if it gets rid of the problem. I don't see it on the longer pages that have more content.

    Thanks for getting back so quickly.

    The thing is, we don't want to add any more copy to that page... just want the footer to stick at the bottom.

    I looked at stickyfooters but that didn't help either.

    Does anyone have a code fix for this issue?

    Cheers

    Not to worry I applied a sticky footer in the end.
