does anyone understand css for websites?

Its driving me mad! I'm trying to make a 3-column layout, which is fine, then put a full-width footer under them. I've got clear:both in the footer div, but the browser is refusing point-blank to recognise that it is there!
There are so many amazing people on this forum, I'm hoping one of you will know the answer

Sorry, this is on my list of things to learn.

My Boss who was very keen for me to learn pointed me to

http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

Hope it helps!

I've been there a few times 
css is basically very easy, but this one thing is really giving me trouble today

Sorry

I would ask him, but he's not here!!

Have you tried writing it from scratch?  that's what I do when I can't see what I've written wrong in some code.  (I have been doing a lot of that today!)

[garishglobes]

Yup, done the "from scratch" thing, still in trouble 

[Krysia@No98]

What about walking away from it and doing something else for a while?

That's what I did at about 3 this afternoon.  Came back started from scratch and it worked first go!! (no I didn't go back to see where I'd gone wrong)

Just a thought, would puting another table in after the one with three columns but with just one column work?
