HTML Coolness: a true 100% height layout

Great code from MB!

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<style type="text/css">

html, body {

margin:0;

padding:0;

height:100%;

}

.container {

width:800px;

min-height:100%;

margin:auto;

background-color:#CCCCCC;

position:relative;

}

.footer {

position:absolute;

bottom:0px;

width:100%;

height:100px;

background-color:#666666;

}

/* Since the footer is absolutely positioned, resizing the page would cause the footer to cover up any other content you have.  The following clearfooter div sits behind the footer and prevents the content from being hidden.  The height can be adjusted to provide more or less padding between the bottom of your content and the top of the footer. */

.clearfooter {

height:110px;

}

/* And finally, a little CSS hack to get this to work on IE6 */

* html .container {height:100%;}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div class="container">

<!--I've purposely left out the <p> tag here as it was causing some unwanted padding/margin problems in Firefox and Safari.  You can always specify these properties in the styles above, but I left them out to keep the focus on the CSS for the layout. -->
