footer content is set, and the position is correct on all but the contact page. The contact page is showing it in entirely the wrong place.
solved the problem by hiding the footer when on the contact page
changed from in the mailer to reply_to so hopefully the email adress will be passed through
finally figured out the css to get the footer to not overlap the contact page. needed to bust out the old clearfix way of thinking. hide the overflow and clear the div
