Topic awaiting preservation: bottom margin/padding

How do I add space to the bottom of a longer page so that the text does not run right down to the bottom? I thought it was text-margin: 15 px (for example). but this does not work, and the more i read about it, it appears this really only works between elements (like paragraphs).

hmmm

body {
padding-bottom : 15px;
}

Maybe?

uh, yes. uh, duh. I thought padding was for tables only, at least that was the impression I got when I was looking at the w3schools site. my bad for not at least trying.

thanks a bunch
