Bottom of the viewport: see Jim Davis' reply.
Bottom of the page:
Add 'clear:both;' tot the styles for the footer, and don't use
position:absolute for the columns.
Position:absolute takes elements out of the normal flow, which
means other elements don't "see" them. Clear:both on the footer
will only help it to stay below floats. Not below absolute
positioned elements.

It's not just not elegant, it doesn't work either :-)

And in Opera both the green and the transparent parts of the
footer are broken by the middle column.
