Footer not behaving as expected

I set a white footer of 30px height on my webpage. For some reason when I scroll down the page the footer gets much higher than that and the text part (div with light grey background) overlap it. Would you know what's wrong and how to fix this? Jsfiddle is here:http://jsfiddle.net/Grek/AdX3m/ Many thanks

Here is a screenshot

The height of your footer doesn't change as you scroll down, it stays the same. The problem lies with your element heights, particularly #wrap, which affects the background-color styles that you have set...

Instead of setting the background colour styles in #wrap, you can try setting them for body

body { background: #0063C3; ... }

This might fix the problem you've described.

delete from the style footer

position:fixed;

or change some height value or font size if you want the footer to stick to the bottom
