I'm using friends electric and I've noticed a few times now that when modules are added, the footer can sometimes float. I fixed it for one module (taxonomy_dhtml), but I can't seem to get it to work properly with image.module.

You can see the problem here:

Any hints on what I need to do would be gratefully received.

I experienced the same problem (not with friendselectric, but with our site's theme).

the method explained at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/footers/ solved it for me. it might make more sense to try the method you used with taxonomy_dhtml. how did you fix it there?

I put 

.voc_clear {

  margin: 0;

  padding: 0;

  clear: both;

}

at the end of the menuExpandable3.css

I can't even remember how I hit on that idea (I only understand css at a basic level), but it did work. I think some kind of clear statement is what did.

I'll check out your solution, as this doesn't work with the image.module problem I'm having.

Oops, not fixed yet. I'll try and play around.

If so, I'd love to know what you did.

btw, I've just commented out the $footer_message line in page.tpl.php -- but that's not a permanent solution.

thnx!
