Hi Scott,
After looking at this I was surprised that it isn't an easier than this -
I've only tested this on IE6 and Firefox 0.9
To get this effect I've used the fact that position relative creates a new
containing block for the absolute block inside:
<style>
div#outer {position: relative; background-color: silver; height: 200px;}
div#inner {position: absolute; background-color: #99CCFF; bottom: 0; width:
100%;}
p{ background-color:#66FF99;}
</style>
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
<p>Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test
paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test
paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test paragraph Test
paragraph Test paragraph</p>
<p>Next paragraph</p>
</div>
