I mean, whatever the user enters in their CSS, (position:absolute or fixed
and so on)
I want to be at the bottom of the page.
The last item a user would see after scrolling to the bottom of a page.

No, that would be the bottom of the screen I guess.
I mean the bottom of the whole page, regardless how much there is in it.

something like, (everything is inline for the sake of keeping it short).

<div style="background: #ddd; display: block;height: 100%;width:
100%;padding: 0;margin: 0;border: 0;float: right;"></div>
<div style="display: block;clear: both;width: 95%;padding: 1;margin:
1;text-align: center;">
<br />
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br />
</div>

But that does not always work.
I just want to be at the very bottom of the page, (not the screen),
regardless of the size of the page.
