I have used various Layout Techniqes, and have yet to come across one that
satisfactorily handles a footer container.  For example, take your typical
3-column format which has a header and footer (excuse the crude image):
------------------------------
| Header                     |
------------------------------
| Left |   Center    | Right |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
------------------------------
| Footer                     |
------------------------------

becomes this when the center column has less content than the left and right
columns do:
------------------------------
| Header                     |
------------------------------
| Left |   Center    | Right |
| .... | ........... | ..... |
| .... | ......      | ..... |
| .... | ----------- | ..... |
| .... | | Footer  | | ..... |
| .... | |         | | ..... |
| .... | |         | | ..... |
| .... | ----------- | ..... |

Do you see how the footer creeps up into center column?  Does any one have
any ideas on how to combat this frustrating problem using the examples on
glish.com/css or similar?
