So here's the deal. I need to make a transitional design with current code 
so that I can start the process of a complete redesign. The stipulations are 
that I cannot change the code in any way ... all I have to work with is the 
stylesheet. I would like to center the content of the page into the middle 
of the page, and I want to have it fill the browser fluidly. I also want to 
have a sidebar for navigation that is set at a static width. I have achieved 
this by setting the content and the sidebar to have absolute positions while 
the centered containing wrapper has a relative position. 

The Problemd: I nee to implement the footer at the bottom of the page, but 
since the content and the sidebar have been removed from the flow of the 
document, the footer is positioned right after the header. How can I make 
the footer come at the bottom of the page? It also needs to be noted there 
is no guarantee that either the content or the sidebar will be longer. Is 
there a way to position an element at the bottom of containing element? Is 
there a way to make the div realize that there are elements within it? 

Last but not least...is there an entirely different approach that I have yet 
to realize that would solve this problem without altering the html? 

Thanks for any and all input... Here are some links for you:
