Double Footer in IE7

Sorry that I only saw 1 footer at bottom. Maybe you have already fix this issue?

Ok so I really get your problem. You should provide more information (e.g. screenshot) so the other will able to solve your problem more easily. I have attach an image for that as reference.

Anyway, I have no idea about why this happen: when you check the source code from IE7 (View -> Source), you will found that there is NONE of duplicated footer message. For sure that it is also correct in case of Firefox, Opera or Safari. I think this is the internal bug of IE7 which I am able to conclude for.

P.S. As I share most code (around 90% for both PHP and CSS) of Multiflex-3 with my other 3 theme projects (Contented7, Interactive Media and Internet Services), I also give a test for them. The double footer ONLY happen in case of Multiflex-3 + IE7, where the others are all fine. This may help for eliminate some potential possibility.

same problem. see attachment.

I did a little trick to avoid the double footer in IE7, by simply creating a new block and add it to the footer. That's currently the best way to avoid the double footer at the bottom as far as I know.

Will be waiting for the proper solution to this though :)

Well... I don't have a good solution, but a functional hack. Already commit to CVS, so please test and feedback for it. Stable release will come after this issue :-)

The reason of duplicated footer message should belong to not proper start/end of html block elements, e.g. missing </div> element in somewhere (I check for many times but have no result...). BTW, jonloh's solution give me some hints for this hack. A <span style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span> can help the buggy render engine run correctly:

  <div id="footer"><!-- start footer -->
    <?php print $footer_message ?>
    <?php print $footer ?>
    <!-- begin #287426 -->
      <span style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span>
    <!-- end #287426 -->
  </div><!-- end footer -->

P.S. Use <div> or <span> alone won't have expected result. The style="display: none;" make this hack as dummy in render result, so function in both FF2/3, Opera9.5 and Safari3.

Any else update? Or I will set this issue as fixed :-)

Assume as fixed since no more feedback.
