I just uploaded a site that I had been developing locally using XAMPP 1.7.1. THere was never any problems locally with XAMPP 1.7.1. The floating footer only occurred once I uploaded it live to start testing. It doesn't happen on the front page, but any other page you go to the dark blue footer floats almost halfway up the page as you move your mouse around -- making articles and menu's unreadable.
I tried enabling and disabling a large number of modules, but nothing seemed to make any difference. I did try changing the template back to Joomla Milkyway and the even tried Phoco Ioca. Everything worked flawlessly with those two templates. (That is the reason why I think it is a template related issue)
I did notive that the Ioca template footer codes were written differently than the Biavo...
Does anyone have any thoughts? ideas? solutions?
The biavo code for the footer area is:
Code: Select all
</div><!-- end wrap -->
<div id="footer">
<div class="box">
<?php include_once('templates.php'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And the ioca code is:
Code: Select all
</div><!-- end wrap -->
</div><!-- end site -->
<div id="footer">
<div class="box">
<?php include_once('templates.php'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div id="debug"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="debug" /></div>
</body>
</html>
