div - scrollHeight - Netscape

KryptoS · Dec 31, 2004

Hey, I have this code, the disclaimer-div is shown at the buttom off every page. But this doesn't work with netscape. Can someone help me with this?

<script>
function positionDisclaimer()
{
disclaimer.style.top = document.body.scrollHeight - disclaimer.offsetHeight;
}
</script>

<body onload='positionDisclaimer()'>
....
<div id='disclaimer' style='position:absolute; bottom: 0; width:98%; left: 1%'>just something here
</div>

Do you need the function at all? It seems that absolute positioning and bottom: 0; would position it perfectly.

isn't absolute position and bottom:0 for just showing the div at the bottom of the page when the content of the page isn't larger then your screem. The javascript function show the div at the bottom of the page when your page is larger then your screen (and you get a scrollbar).

Just found the solution, for those who are interested:

document.getElementById('disclaimer').style.top = document.body.scrollHeight - document.getElementById('disclaimer').offsetHeight // netscape
