Why don't my footers work?

[Kusamura Bonsai]

It is probably something stupid but I can't figure it out. Would someone
take a look at my website -- http://www.gsbf-bonsai.org/kusamura/
and tell me why my footer doesn't layout properly?


I'm using <div id="credits"> where credits is defined as:
#credits {
position: absolute;
bottom: auto;
}

I stole this from some webpage that worked, but my "credits" wind up
several inches above where they should be. I'm having to fake it by
adding a lot of <p>&nbsp;</p> to the divs above.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Validate your HTML first (380 errors at the moment)

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gsbf-bonsai.org%2Fkusamura%2F

And then validate your CSS

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gsbf-bonsai.org%2Fkusamura%2F&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all

Then come back if you still have problems :)

Before I could look at your footer, I had to download the page. Then I
found out it is over a MEGABYTE in size. Fortunately, I have a 5mbps
cable connection. Visitors on dialup will be long gone. You really
need to fix those images before you do anything else. Each should only
be 20-30KB at most.
