No footer in occurrence search #157

In the occurrence search view, the footer is missing. Some people found this very confusing.

Did they really find it "very confusing"?

I remember removing it explicitly, but I cannot remember why. I suspect it had to do with behaviour when scrolling the table and zooming the map.

Well... maybe it was just mildly confusing or strange, but it has been noted by several users. Is there a reason not to show it? It doesn't take up space, since it's usually outside the visible area.

The reason is styling. It behaves odd because the widget has a height. The widget has a height because it makes it easier to control - similar to how a Google map have a height when you insert it on a page. The problem is that scrolling then becomes tricky. I haven't really figured out how to handle it well so I disabled the footer as the best/fastest solution. But you can just enable it. It is simply hidden. I've added it to your site.

Ah... I see. Thanks!
