Calling a footer a footer

Posted by andrewmyhre on September 4, 2009

SharePoint MVP Randy Drisgill points out that if you’re creating a stylesheet for a Sharepoint site with a rule for #footer meaning, ostensibly, the footer for the page, you won’t get the result you intended.

That’s because when the guys created the SharePoint engine they decided to use the element id ‘footer’ for particular div that SharePoint outputs in the middle of your page. Nice going guys! I can’t wait to explain this to the HTML team at our agency.
