I've tried a few things suggested on the wiki, but none seem to work in
my case.
I want a footer. I want to have variable-length content.

You are learning the first thing you need to know about absolutely
positioned content. AP content consumes no space. It is "taken out of
the flow." That is, other objects nearby don't know that AP content
exists, where it begins, where it ends. Think of AP content as floating
on another layer on top of everything else.
The easiest fix I can recomment is removing AP from #frametop and
#framemain. Establish their position by setting margin-left wide enough
to accommodate #navbar. Then #footer will fall underneath. The code
below should do it, but I have not actually tested it.
div#frametop
{
margin-left: 240px;
height: 117px;
width: 554px;
background-image: url(/images/content-top.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/*border: thick solid green;*/
}
div#framemain
{
margin-left: 240px;
/*bottom: 10px;*/
margin-bottom: -30px;
padding-bottom: -30px;
width: 554px;
background-image: url(/images/framecenter.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
/*padding: 0 60px 0 20px;*/
/*border: thick solid pink;*/
}
