		<P>
			The examples linked from this page expand upon a technique published by <A href="http://solardreamstudios.com/">solarDreamStudios</A> called <A href="http://solardreamstudios.com/learn/css/footerstick/">footerStick</A>, that allows for the footer of a Web page to appear either at the bottom of the browser window or the bottom of the Web page content – whichever is visually lowest.
		</p> <P>
			Because the original footerStick used absolute "bottom" positioning for the footer element, it was susceptible to a bug in Firefox/Mozilla that made the footer appear in the wrong position when first visiting a page. By using a slightly altered method, footerStickAlt avoids this behaviour. You can <A href="http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/">view a full explanation here</A>.
