I am looking to do the same thing with the footer as this site

http://www.ablestock.com/en/ - resize the page and see what the footer is doing.

however, by looking at the code (which is nice and clean but is still using tables?), I can't tell if it's a css-only trick or there is javascript required. Any hints?

It's a stylesheet thing. No js.

bottomFrame {

height: 24px; color: #fff; position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 0 7px; }

cool, simple enough! Thank you!
