Thanks in advance for your attention.

I have a html layout with a footer div. I need the footer div to show on bottom of the page if the contents of the webpage don't overflow it. In case the contents of th webpage overflow 100% the height of the webpage, then it's ok for the footer to be pushed further down.

I appreciate your help much!

The CSS and divs follow:

CSS

<style type="text/css">
html
{
	height:100%
}

body 
{ 
	margin: 0 0 0 0px;
	min-height:100%;
}

#headerdiv
{	
	background:#000000;
	width:100%;
	height:150px;
}

#headersubmenudiv
{
	background:#333333;
	width:100%;
	height:50px;
}

#leftstripdiv
{
	background:#666666;
	height:100%;
	width:20%;
	float:left;
}

#centerstripdiv
{
	background:#999999;
	height:100%;
	width:60%;
	display:inline-block;
}

#rightstripdiv
{
	background:#AAAAAA;
	height:100%;
	width:20%;
	float:right;
}

#footerstripdiv
{
	background:#CCCCCC;
	height:50px;
	width:100%;	
}
</style>

HTML

<div id="headerdiv"></div>
<div id="headersubmenudiv"></div>
<div id="leftstripdiv"></div>
<div id="centerstripdiv"></div>
<div id="rightstripdiv"></div>
<div id="footerstripdiv"></div>

This is great, I will accept as solution but it'd be good to wait and see if somebody else wants to post something else so I can get more knowledge. Accepting as solution now will remove question from 'unanswered' section u know. Thank you Sir!
