I have made a child theme of Thematic, using the 2c-l-fixed.css layout. I wanted the sidebar to stay in place and be a specific width, while allowing the main content area to be fluid, so according to some other posts here and on other forums I had to position the #primary div with position:absolute. But now, when pages are short the sidebar overlaps anything in the footer, in fact with firebug i can see it extending well beyond the #wrapper too, and overlapping everything when it should have (in my hope) just pushed those elements down.
Am i forgetting a simple tag that would solve this?
Here is the css for the #primary area:
#primary {
display:block;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 336px;
border:none;
}
The #footer area has not been modified at all.
