I am attempting to replicate a sleek slide up footer that caught my eye on The Internship Movie Site. I have created the wireframe layout, but I am struggling to figure out the correct CSS transition effect. Although I have experimented with the "top" and "height" transition properties, I can't seem to achieve the desired result. It seems like there may be a small detail that I am overlooking, or maybe I should consider using JQuery instead of CSS. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have. Here is the fiddle
HTML
<!-- Begin Site Wrapper -->
<div id="wrapper">
<!-- Begin Header -->
<div id="header">Menu List Here
</div><!-- End Header -->
<!-- Begin Site Content -->
<div id="sitecontent">Some Site Content Goes Here
</div><!-- End Site Content -->
<!-- Begin Footer -->
<div id="footerwrapper">
<div id="footerleft">Left</div>
<div id="footercenter">Center</div>
<div id="footerright">Right</div>
<div id="hugetextreveal">Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.
