title: White space at end of webpage, IE and Chrome show it in a different place?
body: <p>Hey all I posted a question earlier here : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7460319/why-am-i-getting-white-space-between-my-html-element">Why am I getting white space between my HTML element?</a> which was solved.</p>
  
  <p>I have continued working on this page and have ended up with the following:</p>
  
  <p>IE Screenshot:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://postimage.org/image/2aqd5k99g/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://postimage.org/image/2aqd5k99g/</a></p>
  
  <p>Chrome Screenshot:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://postimage.org/image/1xdm95138/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://postimage.org/image/1xdm95138/</a></p>
  
  <p>What I really want is basically the chrome screenshot but without the white space below my red footer. What can I do to get this desired effect for both IE and Chrome?</p>
  
  <p>My HTML file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  
  &lt;head&gt;
      &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="swaggersstyle.css"&gt;
          &lt;title&gt;Oamaru Backpackers Hostel, Swaggers Backpackers - Home&lt;/title&gt;
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;img src="final.jpg" id="banner"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;
      &lt;ul id="nav"&gt;
          &lt;li class="links"&gt;&lt;a href="index.html"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li class="links"&gt;&lt;a href="planning.html"&gt;Planning&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li class="links"&gt;&lt;a href="construction.html"&gt;Construction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li class="links"&gt;&lt;a href="evaluation.html"&gt;Evaluation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
  
  
  &lt;div id="mainc"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;Make Yourself at Home&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Swaggers Backpackers is a converted old house located within walking distance of all the best parts of Oamaru. Explore the old victorian era buildings and shops of the city centre, or see the penguin colonies down the street. Swaggers is owned and operated by camp mum Agra, who makes all guests feel welcome, informed, and perhaps a bit mothered. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;   
  
  &lt;div id="rightcolumn"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;hghadgadgadg&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;easfasf&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;safSFS&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;afafafadf&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;safasf&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;saasfasf&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;fasfsaf&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;div id ="footer"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt; fsafasfasf &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;

  <p>Once again cheers for everyones help - hopefully after this I will be a bit more familiar to these mysterious white lines showing up.</p>
