For a long time, I tried with no avail to get a sticky footer that would work in IE, here is a slick way around IE's incompatibility
For css, all you need is this:
* { margin: 0;}
html, body { height: 100%;}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -4em; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
}
.footer, .push { height: 4em; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */}
And for html, this:
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
Put your content here
<div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
Footer Here
</div>
</body>
