I need to align an image to the bottom of a div whose height is set by
percentage, but I know that "vertical-align: bottom" isn't right for
this case.
I use this template:

----------------------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-Strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Vertical align in a DIV</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body { 
        height: 100%;
        }
#area {
        width: 140px; 
        height: 80%; 
        border: 1px solid black; 
        }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="area">
<img src="img/test.png" alt="img" width="100" height="100" />
</div>
</body>
</html>

----------------------------------------------------------

[Thanks to David Baron for the html, body { height: 100% } :) ]

At present I am using a workaround (a table with valign="bottom") but
I want to be fully compliant with XHTML, so how can I do it?

Thank you in advance!
