100% height on content problem

Hi

Hope someone can help me out on this.

I am building teh following site:

http://www.jasonmillward.com/development/ToV-backend/index.php

Basically the footer needs to be fixed to the bottom of the page which i have done by using absolute positioning. The content area of the page needs to stretch down to the bottom of the footer on any given screen resolution effectively covering the footer in the centre where the content is

I have tried various methods to get the content area to extend down to the bottom of the page and over lap the footer but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know how i might acheive this?

Thanks in advance
Jason
