Absolute positioning should position from the top/left of whatever
absolute element is containing it, usually this is the body.
However, if you specifiy an element as being absolute but don't feed it
a top/left, it will stay positioned wherever it is on the page (but
outside of the content
). A table can, in fact, be used for display purposes when
containing relevant data but for the problem at hand I am sticking with
my recommendation of a div.
Thanks though!

B,
Make sure the div that is appearing at the bottom of the page appears after
your content in the HTML. Then in a print only style sheet format that block
to be position : static;
This will cause the footer to be pushed down from the content on the page
again. IE may still use the bottom CSS
It looks like youve got things
backwards on it, your overriding the * html #content hack with the rule
underneath it.
Move the #content up above the * html
hacks so it is directly below the #leftnav rule, that way IE will read the
hacks and overrule the original #content margins etc.
Set the image to display : block; to fix this.

If people are reasonably proficient with a
browser then they can choose if they want your links to open in a new window
(shift-click) or a new tab (middle click - Firefox). By including _blank youre
forcing people to accept the link opening in a new window.
