Don't use absolute positioning, it's just a regular pain in the butt!
For what you are doing floating is the least complex.

Your solution to your problem is so easy you'll die!

Float the two columns left.
Add to the footer css this code

Code: Select all

clear: both;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that doesn't do the trick and keep your footer below the two divs, then put a clear div in

Column code
<div class="clear"></div>
Footer code

Css for this is

Code: Select all

.clear {
	height:1px;
	margin:0 0 -1px 0;
	clear:both;
	overflow:hidden;
}

That will solve all your problems.
