White space below footer and

My contact-thanks.php and shirts.php pages have an extra white space below the footer and I don't know why. Can someone help me figure this out. It doesn't show up on the other pages of the Shirts 4 Mike project.

Here is my code for the contact-thanks.php: <?php

$pageTitle = "Contact Mike"; $section = "contact"; include("inc/header.php");

?>

<div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <h1>Contact</h1>

        <p>Thanks for the email! I&rsquo;ll be in touch shortly.</p>

    </div>

</div>

<?php include("inc/footer.php"); ?>

And here is the footer code: <div class="footer">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <ul>        
            <li><a href="http://twitter.com/treehouse">Twitter</a></li>
            <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TeamTreehouse">Facebook</a></li>
        </ul>

        <p>&copy; <?php echo date('Y'); ?> Shirts 4 Mike</p>

    </div>

</div>

</body> </html>

The footer seems to have an extra </div>. Remove that. The little things matter in programming. Spellings and misplaced punctuation is the major cause of bugs for us beginners.

Can't determine based on just the HTML markup - need the CSS as well. I would check any padding or margin values you have in your CSS, specifically the div, .wrapper, ul and p selectors. You might also be picking up the browsers "user agent" default CSS styles. Check that as well.

Thank you for responding to this post. I was missing a closing </div> at the top of the footer.php. I downloaded the project files and compared it.
