positioning element on a page

HI

i am after some advice on positioning elements on a page, i have set up a sample at www.lesperance.uk.com. and sample property at www.lesperance.uk.com/html/sample.htm

I am integating this with a mysql database which is going to hold records and details of property, with regards to the property details the amount of text will vary.

I want to be able to set up the page so that the footer (bottom right logo and some links/copyright bit will position themselves depending on the amount of text above them.

The page is set up with a contanier div and then elements are positioned with absolutly positioned layers.

would i be better using a table, what would be the best way for this site.

or should i just limitthe amount of text people agents can upload.

thanks

Without seeing how far down the footer can be pushed, I can't give a good answer. I think you are looking at having three columns (left margin and box background, center content, right margin and box background) as well as the footer. If you make the box images a background in the div and pin the background to the upper left and lower right corners respectively, the right side should follow the footer as it is pushed down. The footer itself would contain the horizontal boxes on the lower right.
