Current practice is to use a standard <div> mark-up and CSS to display:table, display:table-row and display:table-cell. A HTML5 version has resulted in much simpler mark-up and less CSS, but it only works in the W3C compliant browsers, and IE7 and earlier get left out. http://countjustonce.com/test/rw-footer-w3c.html To fix the usual problems, IE only Conditional Comments are used to place a table round the existing mark-up, insert a min-width substitute and finally fix a margin issue endemic in IE7. This version now renders well using Windows 7 in IE10pp2 through to IE5.01 http://countjustonce.com/test/rw-footer-all.html Barry
