And as has been discussed previously regarding wp_footer() - this hook isn't really intended for injection of front-end content, but rather for scripts and the like. Using it to inject content is a bit of a mis-use of the hook.<div>

1) So that it doesn't interfere with site design with plugins that add content specifically designed for below the site. (wibya toolbar)<br>
2) Script execution sometimes will *not* work within a div set of your site design. Some plugins that inject into that area will fail due to it being inside a particular markup area.<br>

Hi,<br>
What are the arguments which make required wp_footer() to be placed immediately before </body> tag?<br>
Personally I'm OK with this because otherwise some slow or buggy script may break the entire design. Here bellow I'm applying a comment from an author which theme I was not approved; his arguments make sense and before I answer him I need an additional opinion.<br>
<br>
So, what do you think about wp_footer() placement?<br>
<br>

Comment(by Cristian Nistor):<br>
<br>
Hello Fingli.<br>
<br>
Regarding the wp_footer() placement. I know that this function should go<br>
before the ending body tag, but I consider that it should not be<br>
"immediately", and I'll explain why, for this particular case. The footer<br>
has a container, built from 3 divs which create the box effect. If I place<br>
the wp_footer() outside the box, if any plugin adds some visible messages<br>
to the footer, they will be outside the box as orphan elements with almost<br>
any formatting style, which is not desirable. On the other hand any HTML<br>
code that is added, and does not create visible text to the page, is in<br>
the place it should be (like links to any js files, or code snippet of any<br>
statistical application etc.). This a dilemma for me, as this particular<br>
situation does not create a win-win situation, and sincerely I don't know<br>
exactly how to handle it.<br>
<br>
Anyway is good that the template is not approved yet, because I found<br>
another small issues that needs to be fixed.<br>
<br>
Maybe until the next time I'll upload a new version we'll agree where<br>
wp_footer() function should be called.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Cristian Nistor<br>
