text spilling into the footer

Question

Hello,

If you narrow the viewport to 707px, you will see the text in the extra-content and primary-content column spill into the footer. What can add in the media query to contain the text inside their respective columns at the break point of 707px? cheers!

Hi, try to define a larger height for the content:

.content {
  height: 710px;
}

that should prevent any text from over lapping to the footer. Let me know if that helped :)

lovell, wouldn't it be easier to just copy and paste the above code into and editor. I thought most of us did that.

Anyway, what is copepen ? Where in codepen do I go to do exactly what I did here, paste the whole code.

Sorry for sounding cheeky; but this whole thing feels redundant, not sure

cheers!
