Not the same. In the original, the footer adopts its height to its content. Putting in a min-height of 10% will not accomplish that. You can simply verify it by comparing your solution and the original visually. They look completely different.

Please be aware, that meanwhile there is a working solution here:

It was suggested by jlft but his post got no upvotes, so its burried almost on the bottom of this thread.

Same problem as with "thegooley"s solution.

Awesome! We got it!

jlft already suggested this. Please see his reply. And if possible upvote it. He made the best solution so far, but his post is burried down below.

Its not the same. You made a lot of changes. For example deleting the textarea and other elements.

The best solution so far!

Only problem: The textare is slighty misaligned.

There have been solutions been suggested without tables. Look through this thread. Nothing works so far.

No, its not the same. When the text in the footer wraps, it leaves the page so you cannot read it anymore. In my example that does not happen. If you left all the text the same, that would be easier to see.

Good suggestion. Will do that if no solution comes up on HN.

Same problem as with "the1"s solution.

Its not the same. The textarea does not resize to the parents height in this solution. Also it extends into the right half of the screen.

Right, im looking for a pure HTML 5 + CSS solution. Just like it is in quirks mode.

I just need this layout. With or without a table. As long as it looks and behaves the same.

Will divorce restore the genius, or is it irreversible?

Here is one, that works on every website:

Its intended use is to include it in the website, but you can also use the javascript in Greasemonkey. Here is the link to the code:

We do develop javascript software live on our webserver:
