Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

This is very weird.  95% of all my pages, products and categories have what appears to be a footer that is the size of a full screen.   If you click on my home page you'll see what I mean: http://www.brenditasbodyworks.com/shop/

But there are several categories where the footer is normal: http://www.brenditasbodyworks.com/shop/ … nt-Shaving

Since I have been modifying the css, I assumed it was my fault.  But when I revert to the stock css files, the problem persists.  I have not modified the skin.php.

Here is a perfect example of a single category with many products.

http://www.brenditasbodyworks.com/shop/ … e_Products

The first 30 products are shown on the page and the footer is “normal”.  If you click on page 2, the second page has a full screen footer!

I’ve even tried reinstalling everything from scratch and as I mentioned, reverting to the stock css does nothing.

Re: Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

You have a bunch of open <p class="categoryText"> tags in your category descriptions which aren't closed with </p> tags.  That may be the culprit.

Re: Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

Thanks Nick.  I identified those tags and removed them but still the same.  Of course, I could have other open tags but consider this:  I created a new category with only one word "test" and the footer is a page wide.  (The various browsers all display a different amount of spacing, Chrome being the least and IE and Firefox the most. )

I should also point out that even the shopping cart page is showing the long footer so the problem should not be content related. (In my humble opinion.)

Re: Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

I'm sorry - but I've been over this with firebug and can't determine what the issue is.  I believe it's CSS related.  Your HTML checks fine in the w3c validator.  You can remove nodes one at a time in Desktop/css/all.css until you don't see the problem, then you'll know the culprit.

Re: Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

Hello Nick.  I discovered the culprit and it was unexpected.   I have a category with about 30 sub-categories.  If that category is selected to be a "Main Category" and it appears in the navigation menu at the top of the page, Mozilla and I.E. will render the height of the page as if a user is hovering over the category and the sub-categories are being displayed. 
I wonder if there is a way to specify a limit in the css.

Re: Footer is behaving strangely, but not everywhere

The best thing to do would be to split that category up into a few sub categories, as a list that long would require scrolling as a dropdown menu for most users.  That's what I'd recommend.  Quite unexpected, indeed.
