Question

I got a little problem and nothing I test seems to work.

My HTML:

<div id="parent">
    <div id="top_parent">Top_background
        <div id="top">Top_Picture</div></div>
    <div id="content">Here comes random stuff<div>
        </div>

        <div id="bottom">Footer</div>

CSS:

#top_parent {
    background:#f00;
    height:100px;
}

#top{
    background:#0f0;
    float:right;
    position:relative;   
    height:100px;
    width:50%;
}
#content{
    top:-50px;
    background:#00f;
    <!--   position:relative;-->
    height:100px;
    width:80%;
    margin:auto;
}
#parent{
    background:#000;
    height:350px;
    width:100%; 
}

#bottom {
    height: 50px;
    background:#ff0;
    bottom:0px;
    <!--position:absolute; -->
    <!--position:relative; -->
}

Now my problem is, the footer won’t get under the parent div, it stays in the content area. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

You have not closed this div:

<div id="content">Here comes random stuff<div>

Should be:

<div id="content">Here comes random stuff</div>

You could see this easily if you indented your divs:

<div id="parent">
  <div id="top_parent">Top_background
    <div id="top">Top_Picture</div>
  </div>
  <div id="content">Here comes random stuff<div> <!-- Can see the problem -->
</div>
<div id="bottom">Footer</div>
