Excess space appearing at bottom of one of my pages??

Permalink
On one of the pages I have been building with Concrete5 there is an excessive amount of white space appearing under the block content and I can't for the life of me figure why it's there.

Anybody ever encountered this before or have any ideas as to how I might be able to get rid of it?

There is nothing in the source code or the CSS that might do this.

The page in question is:http://hotstylecarpetcleaning.carlosgonzalezconsulting.com/privacy-...

It is the only page where this happens.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks.

Carlos

I just took a quick look, and it seems like there is 2000px padding on the bottom of a div in the main.css file (line 117) being targeted with the following declaration:

#hotstyle #columns-container #column-center, #hotstyle #columns-container #no-sidebars

getting rid of that should clear it up :)

Thanks very much triplei but that excess padding and margin is what causes the two columns to be set to an equal height no matter which one has more content than the other.

All the pages at the site use the same mechanism (if I can call it that) so if that is the problem all the pages would have that excess spacing at their bottom but no other one does except for the privacy page.

I mean I will play with it some as I did change the usual excess from 32000 something or other pixels to a mere 2000 but that shouldn't make any difference I don't think since none of my pages will ever be over 2000 pixels high.

Still...that was pretty sharp of you to catch that.

Thanks for looking at the CSS triplei!

Another thing we noticed was that the Privacy Policy seemed to be the only Full Width template being used. The others were using the two column although I couldn't see the other pages on the website in the dropdown menu. Not sure if there is something up with your full-width template. Hope that might give you somewhere to start.

Thanks again triplei.

I thought about that last night after I read your previous response. That
indeed the Privacy Page is the only one using the full page template which
code is below....

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
$this->inc('elements/header.php');
?>
<div id="bottom">
   <div id="middle">
      <?php $this->inc('elements/navbar.html'); ?>
      <div id="columns-container">
         <div id="no-sidebars">
            <?php
            $a = new Area('Content');
            $a->display($c);
            ?>
         </div><!--no-sidebars-->
      </div><!--columns-container-->
Viewing 15 lines of 20 lines. View entire code block.


The other pages while using a different template essentially use the same
overall layout with bottom and middle and columns-container id's.

But I am going to check into why the no sidebars template as indicated above
is causing the excess space on that one page (if indeed it is responsible
for that).

I'll post back what I find if anything.
