It is just the text for the menu that I want to force.

Your doctype is gimpy and should cause quirks mode (think "omfg let's render it like it's 1996-mode") in pretty much all popular graphical browsers.

Use this one...

code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

...or, if you're a wuss, this one...

code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

hmmmm... I think (and I could be wrong, that's been happening frequently lately) that you should be able to do:

code:

#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
}

I think.
