Question

i’m really not very familiar with CSS and HTMl so take it easy with me
I’m editing a purchased template, and i’m running into a little problem, you can check how it looks right here and understand my problem: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10843829/SITE%20INFORBYTE/shortcodes-text.html

The problem is:
I’ve got the sidebar div, and i made it to move along with the page with the “position:fixed” attribute on it’s div…
The thing is, now it scrolls over the footer div.
I tried to follow this: http://css-tricks.com/scrollfollow-sidebar/ but it didn’t work out really well.

Now some code for deeper understandment of my problem.

Source Code

<div class="grid_4 sidebar " style="position:fixed" id="sidebar">

Answer 1

Set your footer to position: relative; and give it a z-index: 5000; like so:

.footer {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 5000;
}
