If you're going for a table solution, this may be what you are looking for:
<http://www.maxus.no/css/header_footer.html>
Note that I haven't made any effort to hack around the padding bug in
IE/win. The layout, though, should force the footer to the bottom in all
browsers*. Yes, I know it involves nesting tables, and yes, the entire HTML
stream needs to be downloaded for the browser to start rendering..
I guess you'll have to sacrifice something in order to get the footer
aligned at the very bottom in all browsers..
* all browsers capable of displaying tables, that is
