Master page footer placement

RH 11 Webhelp

Our master page footer text looks good in a shaded border, but there seems to be no way to set the distance of the border from the Help content. I was able to set the distance by 1) removing the shade & border and 2) selecting the text and setting the paragraph Spacing Above to 18 pxIt looks fine, if plain.

Is there a way to:

  • set the distance of a footer border from the Help content (the border is a footer property and doesn't seem to be selectable), or
  • better maybe, set the footer at the bottom of the user's browser window

Also, is 18 px deemed a good Space below content, or has someone seen a different recommendation?

Thank you

Correct answer Willam van Weelden

If you use the CSS selector #footer, you can do anything you want:

#footer {

   margin-top: 18px;

}

to set 18px as a top margin.

Personally, I would set it to 1.5em (16px x 1.5) for a distance. It's more than a line height, but enough to indicate it is part of the content.

Kind regards.

You might use a transparent image to control it.

Hi Willam,

Thanks! I set it to 18 px using RoboHelp's paragraph settings. It looks good, and was what I needed to know about the amount of space that was appropriate.

Cheers
