These are not inline divs, but are drawn upon a div that fits the whole page. This 'parent' div is set to 100% height, and the footer is drawn upon this div, making it a child.

It's bottom position is set as 0px in the Freeway inspector. "Zero px from where?" you might say – zero px from the bottom of the parent! Which, because of it's percentage height always fills the page.

Hint: You can add a bottom-border to the footer without any problems... make it the same color as the background and it will appear to stop short of the bottom of the window. OR, if you're more adventurous, make the parent div only 98% height, and the footer will stop short of the bottom.

Caveats: I cannot delete the height of the footer box AND position it from the bottom mesurement, meaning there is no way to make the box flexible in Freeway. However, hand-coding it without the height makes it perfectly flexible. Hmmm…
