Help with footer

Try switching to the unmodified parent theme – do you have the same issues?

You’ve got a lot of mark-up errors on that page – so you might check on those in any case:

ya i fixed the markup. and yes when I switch to the parent theme the problem is still there

the problem seems to be the curious addition of the following styles to the element

. if I disable these in a style viewer, the problem goes away

position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 496px;
