I am trying to design a website but I get stucked by the css.
I have a problem with my divs, maybe I've made a mistake somewhere but my div for footer is not visible in IE7, and when I try to do other nested divs, it gives me a lot of problems.

here is my html code and the css:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Igihe|Kinyarwanda</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
}

You can't have multiple -- in an HTML comment aside from the --> at the end, it's invalid. Secondly, you forgot the > on the beginning body tag.

<body>
  <!--body positioning-->
  <div id="bodypos">
