Nope. "Absolutely positioned boxes are taken out of the normal flow.
 This means they have no impact on the layout of later siblings."[1]

Try using a floated construction instead. Examples here:

[Essential eBiz Solutions Ltd]

Your problem is the sidebar, you need to make the position of it relative,
then the footer will pop underneath it. To keep the sidebar liquid just
float it to the right and use em's for the height, width etc. 


Many Thanks

[WSG] W3C Validators in Jeopardy

[S.R. Emerson]

"...That we've had the use of validation tools via the W3C for so long and 
without cost has been a significant component in the teaching and evangelism 
surrounding Web standards and best practices. To lose these tools would impact 
that message, not to mention take a certain amount of quality assurance away 
from the process"

[WSG] icons for navigation - was positioning help needed

Thats a good solution. Thanks for the feedback everyone, especially the 
great linky links. Im taking a close look at css blueprint grid and the 
css gala examples.



BTW whats the wsg consensus about using icons in nav menus?
I recently read an article that basically said if you take the text away 
most icons in nav menus become useless. Also they are quite time 
consuming to create

I think they can be good for portal sites but thats about it.
