Does that sound like every webdesigner’s nightmare? 
Anyway, I’m trying to find the best+cleanest way to create this layout:
http://tinyurl.com/q8v986 (just a rough mockup)
Fixed-height navbar at top, fixed-height portfolio bar pinned to bottom of page, and a vertically centred content area. All 100% width.
As you can see, I’ve hacked together some CSS using snippets I’ve grabbed from around the place, but it’s not perfect. In particular, the overlapping divs create issues (links/buttons not being clickable, etc, and all divs will contain links/buttons).
Halp?
