Bottom positioning

Is there a way I can position a line ("Happy New Year") to the bottom of
the window, irrespective of its size ? I think something was posted here
recently, but I did not save the note.

(Msg re-sent, because I did not see it in the NG 2 hours after sending
the 1st one).

Is there a way I can position a line ("Happy New Year") to the bottom of
the window,

p{width:99%;bottom:0;text-align:center;position:absolute;}

<p>xmas sucks big ones</p>

Only Opera 7.x will render this correctly. Mozilla 1.x and MSIE 6 will
treat bottom:0 relative to the viewport, not to the document. The
correct way to position it relative to the viewport is to use
position:fixed, not position absolute. The specs are also quite clear on
this.

Mozilla has a bug on this.
Bug 105286: viewport used as containing block for absolutely positioned
elements instead of root (percentage height, %, bottom)
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105286

Opera is correct.

Many thanks, Brucie, it works fine with Safari and Netscape 7, not with
MSIE 5.2 (Mac) or iCab 2.9. Will test MSIE (PC) tomorrow.
