I don't know what the problem is it has a tag in pages
<%chapter%> is that it ?
I don't know what's wrong with that. some sub pages show the footer some don't
:(

Why not post a link to a page with the problem? Pretty hard to diagnose html problems without actually seeing them.
Also, I don't know what '<%chapter%>' is, but it's not html...

:rolleyes: Oops...internet without coffee = bad idea.
Ok, I can't stick around to fix it just now, but there are multiple unclosed tags and invalid nesting in your page. Run it through Dreamweaver or http://validator.w3.org to spot them. For example, the (multiple!) tables right around the 'login' form are badly messed up.
Your problem probably comes from different browsers correcting the mistakes in markup differently.
hth,

Yes , I saw them but i didn't have much time to fix it however actually(almost) the same code is used in sub pages. I got back to IE 5.0 now and everything is ok but not sure whether it's because of IE 6 or not .
Grrr.
If there was an error wouldn't it show the footer in somewhere else ? I think so however it's not that it's not showing the footer anyway...

The answer is 'it depends.' Browsers are usually pretty forgiving when it comes to invalid markup. The problem is that they may fix problems differently from each other, and may also (as an old boss of mine used to say) "fix it worse." You see, you have no idea how the browser is going to try to fix it - especially when (as in this case) there are multiple, incorrectly nested tags and tables.
The simple solution is to correct the markup. Shouldn't take above 20 minutes or so.

I think the best thing I'll be doing is to renew the site with a better design.
That was what i had in my mind and I'll do it soon.
:) thnx for replies.
