I have a site that the footer, does not align down the bottom, this site was finished but now it is causing me problems, cannot figure out why it is doing this. The footer is putting itself in the main div. I had the css optimised and I think its caused me more problems than before. Also the header is showing the link colour around iteself. Here is the css
Code:
html {height: 100%;}
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
body {background-image: url('images/bgstripe.jpg'); repeat: no-repeat; font-size:.88em; font-family:helvicta, sans-serif;height: auto;text-align: center;}

I ran it through the css validator and found some errors, which I worked on. Now my vertical navigation is in a mess.
Code:
.vmenu {font: bold 12px Verdana;}
.vmenu ul {padding: 0; margin: 0; background: white url('images/indentbg.gif') repeat-x center; float:right;}
.vmenu ul {width: 750px;}
.vmenu ul li {display: inline; display: block;}
.vmenu ul li a {color: #666666; text-transform: uppercase; padding: 4px 8px;border-right: 1px solid #666666; text-decoration: none;}
.vmenu ul li a:visited {color: #666;}
.vmenu ul li a:hover {color: gray; background: white; padding-top: 5px;   padding-bottom: 5px; text-decoration: none;height: 100%; text-align: center;}


it is all jumbled up to the left. So I have done something wrong.
