The content has to go somewhere, and visitors can resize text.

In HTML tables 'height' means 'min-height', while in a non-table layout
'height' means 'height/max-height'. So, you need to rethink how you
style for fluid height.

This is one way to accommodate variable amount of content, font resizing,
etc...

One extra image in there, and I didn't bother to optimize it.

Normally one would avoid all those separate slices in a layout like
yours, and use only maybe 4-5 background images for the whole thing. It
is after all a fixed-width layout centered in body, and only needs a
top, a repeating middle-part, and a bottom, in addition to one on body.
