Try to use the DOM inspector in Mozilla Firefox to see which styles (from which stylesheets) get applied to the footer. I guess you can also do this with the Internet Explorer developer toolbar.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am just working with CSS for the moment. So far CSS has been an excellent way to tweak other sections of my templates. I just haven't figured out what to do about a "footer" section. There seems to be a section in the original CSS document called "footer", so I'll see what I can figure out from here.
I think I've resolved the "footer" problem....a missing definition in my pagelayout file. I'm still wondering about the calendar issue however. If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas (or solutions!) feel free to let me know.
The missing calendar is probably the result of the subtree or class settings for that toolbar.
Ideas:
Try setting the calendar up on the right toolbar - I've had the best luck with it there.
Check the subtree settings and class types associated with the calendar. Once it displays on the right toolbar, try the same settings on the others (if necessary).
