• Ryan Fiat’s Sticky Footer: Good sticky footer, except one problem. Unless a DIV does not have a height defined, the sticky footer fails to recognize how big the content DIV is and therefore we end up with overlapping DIV’s.
• CSS Sticky Footer: This sticky footer I’ve ran across before, and now checking it out again, this is a good sticky footer to use. However, the only issue it has is the fact it uses several hacks in order to be compatible with the major browsers it supports.
• …and Several More: While there are other attempts at figuring out the sticky footer issue, there really is no point to list them since none of them are perfect in terms of cross-browser compatibility.

That being said, I find the CSS Sticky Footer is currently the best way to address the sticky footer issue. While for some, this code’s use of CSS hacks isn’t quite ‘delicate‘, it still does the trick and therefore I recommend anyone who comes across this issue to use the 2009 CSS Sticky Footer. It’ll save you both time and frustration in your coding process.

Today is the official day Microsoft released their so-called “final” version of Internet Explorer 8. While I haven’t downloaded it yet, I have used the beta versions and I have to say, even though I have strong opinions about IE, there’s a few features I like about it. No, I don’t mean the InPrivate browsing , what I was referring to is the browsers better support of W3C Standards and parsing bugs that have been an annoyance to coders for too long.

I won’t list all the features of Internet Explorer 8, however, as we all know, Wikipedia is our #1 trusted source, so head over to the link below to read all the features of IE8.

Doing a bit of Google searching I found other newbie coders also had this issue, so here is the solution I created if anyone happens to come here from Google:

$ch = curl_init();
$target3 = "C:/www/upload/".$target2;
$fp = f*open($target3, 'r');
$ftpurl = "ftp.servername.com/";
$ftpusr = urlencode("user@mydomain.com");
$ftppass = "mycrazypassword";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'ftp://'.$ftpusr.':'.$ftppass.'@'.$ftpurl.$target3);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($target3));

**Note: for the fopen function, I had to list it as f*open because it would not let me post it for some reason.

Enjoy!

This creates a problem for those who use custom themes and have upgraded to the 2.6 version. The images don’t align properly!! In order to fix this, the easiest way is to go into the default themes’ stylesheet and find the image and image caption section and copy it into your own stylesheet.

As I have already done this for one blog, the code you need to add to your custom stylesheet is

/* Begin Images */
p img {
padding: 0;
max-width: 100%;
}

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;

display: inline;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}

.alignleft {
float: left
}
/* End Images */

/* Captions */
.aligncenter,
div.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}

.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}

.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 17px;
padding: 0 4px 5px;
margin: 0;
}
/* End captions */

That’s it! The “new” and only way to add images is through the “Add Media” bar which is somewhat slow for some and annoying for many, but at least now it will do what you tell it to do. I will be keeping touch on how to add that “Add/Edit Image” button because if I’m going to upgrade to 2.6, it will definitely be a button I will need.
