Setting the height of a container and position of a footer

Hi,

I am a bit new to CSS layout and I am having a little difficulty with two things (see attached file).

1) I need the height of the main container to always stretch down the full height of the screen (irrespective of the amount of content included).

2) I need the footer to be fixed at the base of the screen (again, irrespective of the content).

I'd really appreciate some help on this as I am going round in circles.

Thank you.

Thanks for your quick response (very much appreciated).

I'm not quite sure what that link is telling me (i'm pretty new to CSS)?

position:absolute;-says that the element wont move from it's position
left:0px; - it would be on 0pixels from left of the browser window
top:0px; - it would be on 0 pixels from top of the browser window
z-index:-1; puts the image behind the text
Here the css is described:
