I have a div on my main pages called leftcontent. Leftcontent contains a js menu that controls local navigation thru my site.

At the very bottom of this div I am attempting to put a div that contains an input button that prints out the web pages content.

No matter what I do, this div is always right below the last item in the js menu and not all the way to the bottom of the parent container. I have been careful and made sure that I haven't accidentally put it in the js menus parent div.

Code: 
<div leftcontent>

  <div jsmenu>
     <div button1>
     </div>
     <div button2>
     </div>
  </div>

  <div printbutton>
  </div>

</div>

Surely there is a way to get the printbutton div to the bottom? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To really make it absolutely at the bottom, you would need to relatively position your leftcontent, then absolutely position your printbutton with bottom being 0.

Hi, I would like to vertically align the content of 2 div's to the TOP of another div that contains these 2 div's. The body-ID is necessary to draw a border. The problem in Mozilla is also that the right boxtext doesn't stay within the div. Here's what I have for the moment. Any advice would be appreciated.

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
	text-align: center;
	background-color: #fffff0;
	margin: 0px auto;
}

#body {
  width: 800px;
	border: #000000 solid 1px;
	margin: 15px auto;
	background-color: #eeeeee;
}

#container {
  width: 802px;
  margin: 0px auto;
	border: #000000 none 0px;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	width: 800px;
}

#container div {
	display: inline;
}

#box_left {
	width: 200px;
}

#box_right {
	width: 600px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='body'>
<div id='container' valign='top'>
	<div id='box_left'><img src='top1.jpg' height='242' width='200'></div><div id='box_right'><img src='top2.jpg' height='99' width='600'><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ulliam corper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
