I have a problem with my layout. I have a content div that I want to expand the more text there is in it. And at the bottom there’s a div that should hold some contact info.

My problem: I can’t figure out how to allow the content div to become larger without overlapping with my bottom div. I’ve tried margins and paddings but I can’t seen get it to work.

Any kind of help is appreciated.

I pasted the code on Pastebin so this post wouldn’t be so long. A fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/NpY66/

    The answer is, you need to use clear: both; on your footer style.

    #bottom{
        border: 1px solid gray;
        font: 12px Helvetica, sans-serif;
        padding: 5px;
        background: white;
        text-align: center;
        clear: both;
    }
    

    This will prevent floating div tags from overlapping.
