This reminds me: there is a bug (well, I consider it a bug) in the CSS2 absolute positioning rules [1] that causes the 'bottom' property to be ignored in many situations. The "bug" actually affects some of the sample code in the CSS2 spec itself [2]. Are these rules being revised for CSS3? [1] Absolute positioning rules, height calculations http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-height [2] Example of absolute positioning rules: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#fixed-positioning Mozilla has serious problems trying to render [2], but if you specify backgrounds for everything and then specify 'margin-top: auto' on the footer, you'll see the intended behavior. -- Jason
