Help with proxies and organising content on my master page

[sif_1Q84]

In my master page, I'm using the Topic Body Proxy and Menu Proxy (and others). Underneath the Topic Body Proxy, I've added feedback survey (e.g. 'Was this topic helpful?'). The problem I'm having is that if the topic is short, the feedback survey is pushed to the bottom of the page by the Menu Proxy, so there's a huge gap between where my content ends and where my survey is.

I've seen it mentioned that if you add content below the Topic Body Proxy (like I've done), Flare considers it to be a footer, which makes sense. However, is there a way I can set up my feedback survey so that it appears directly below my content and not as a footer?

The only solution I have so far is to add the feedback survey to every single topic manually, which will be quite time-consuming.

Thanks!

I suspect it's something to do with the width of your survey content. I find the same whenever I have a div or table that attempts to use 100% width on a page with a menu proxy sidebar floated to the right, the content is placed below the bottom edge of the sidebar. By default block elements will be 100% width. To get around it I've adjusted the width of my div so it is only the remainder of the page. For web and tablet mediums, this is 66% width with the menu proxy taking up 33%. With my mobile medium I set my side menu to display:none, so it isn't an issue.

I wonder if you could get around it by changing the display index of the side menu and have it above the page. Of course, then you might have the issue of the side menu overprinting any text in your survey.

Hi Rob, thank you for the suggestion! I've just tried it but unfortunately I've got the same problem. Even with the feedback div at 60% and the side elements at 40% (I also tried 30%), the feedback div is pushed below the side elements.

I already have a top navigation bar, but the side navigation bar is there too for quick access to other topics. So I don't think it'd work having that also at the top of the page.
