Styling the #footer Container

The footer can be separated from other content using border-top and margin-top properties.

The footer content also can be right-aligned using the text-align property.

To add space between the border and footer content, padding-top can be used as shown in Listing 20.12. The results can be seen in Figure 20.4.
