In the OneTrueLayout method [Robinson], floating columns of unknown height are wrapped by a container element. All columns get more length by an excessive padding. This would let the containing element expand in height. But the same length is subtracted from the columns by a negative margin. The excessive padding area now hangs out of the container that did not change its height. Finally, overflow: hidden cuts the overhang on the bottom edge of the container. [http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/companions.html] Maybe a "faux columns technique" plus "Footer Stick Alt" would be easier to implement. I know this is not what you were asking for, but frame-like pages with a fixed footer at the bottom of the window are not that simple.
