 I have this DIV at the very bottom of a html.

<head>
<style type="css/text" media="all">
<!--
#oFoot { position: relative;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='#FF0000',
endColorStr='#FCCCCF', gradientType='0');
text-align: center; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<!-- -->
<div id="oFoot">
<!-- a table -->
</div>
</body>
</html>

My trouble is this <div> is not flush with the bottom of the document. There is
a gap of about 50px. Any ideas how to fix this? If not it seems that
bottom-margin in IE is superfalous.

An URL would be a lot more useful.
Your stylesheet does not use margin-bottom. There is nothing in your
example (which, BTW, is invalid html) that would push the div to the bottom.

Hi. Could you explain what is invalid about it? Of course I didn't give you
the entire code. I don't think that was necessary. In any case you were right.
I just added:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* stuff */
body { margin-bottom: 0px; }
-->
</style>

That did what I wanted. The <DIV is now flush with the bottom of the page. In
IE anyway. Thanks.

The sample code is missing the <body> tag. It is because of these sorts
of errors that we insist on an URL.

Not necessary in HTML.

OK, document type declaration and title were missing ...
