CSS, Layers and PHP includes

[cadenceguitar]

I'm using an absolutely positioned layer in the middle of a page and there is a
php footer include and the bottom of the page.
The problem is that when the content in the layer gets too long it runs right
over the top of the footer (rather than push it down the page) causing an
overlap.

the footer is not in a layer, and i can't put it in one (i dont think)

Any suggestions?

thanx,
tim

Quick fix is putting the Overflow properties to scroll. Howeve this have
issues with some browsers.

Yes, that's how position:absolute elements work. Change your content
container to any other kind of element and it will push down the footer
as desired.
