I'm setting up a small site with WordPress, and am having trouble 
getting my footer to stay at the bottom of the page.  I'm also having 
some issues with positioning within the footer.  This is only really an 
issue for short pages, but here's an example:

http://www.vantagehoa.org/wordpress/regional-info/ (styling is not yet 
done, so some stuff looks funky)

The footer is a DIV that consists of a short SPAN that I'd like to be on 
the left side and vertically centered (probably on the bottom, actually) 
and another DIV on the fight for some icons (which I'd like centered 
vertically).

The section's CSS is:

div#footer { position: relative; height: 37px; bottom:0%; margin-bottom: 
0em; padding: 0em;}
div#footer_icons { position: relative; right:0%; float:right; 
vertical-align:middle; }
.copyright { font-size: small; text-indent: 0em; vertical-align:middle; }

This is all contained inside div.body, which has "min-height: 95%" 
working as expected.  div#footer is not appearing at the bottom of 
div.body, despite being relatively positioned and having both "bottom" 
and "bottom-margin" defined.

However, as you can see (especially with an element inspector), the 
copyright span is at the top of the DIV (vertical-align is doing 
nothing), and #footer_icons isn't fully contained within the parent DIV. 
The top of it is immediately below the bottom of the SPAN.  Of the 
definition of #footer_icons, the only one that seems to do anything at 
all is "float:right" - I can remove everything else and it looks the 
same.  I remove that, and the others do no.  I've also tried explicitly 
adding margins (3px top and bottom to force these 31px-tall images into 
the middle of the 37px-tall container) and padding, but it's had 
no-to-minimal effect.

What am I missing?  I merely want the text and the icons to appear on 
the left and on the right within the same parent DIV, which should sit 
at the bottom of the viewport for short pages, or at the bottom of 
longer pages (like "Home").

FWIW, I'm testing primarily in Firefox 3.0B5, but also periodically in 
IE 7 and IE6 (all on WinXP).

I appreciate any help you guys can offer.
