Divs & Footers

(Web Development) Keywords: browser, web
I've gone to so many places online for a few years now and have yet to find a perfect solution.
I know those 2 words should never apply to web design and dev but still. By perfect I mean a footer that actually stays at the bottom of the screen at all times. The same as if it was in a table format. Doesn't matter if the content needs scrolling. Is not only cross browser and cross platform sufficient but also in the same place no matter what resolution.
The resolution thing to me has always been the biggest issue, FF, IE, Safari & Opera all are workable if you design for an exact resolution. Once you change resolutions, I find footers have the most issues. They are the most "unliquid-like" objects I can think of.
I'm also looking for a centering issue that uses all the above scenarios, but one albatross at a time. Padding and margins are doing the trick sorta so far.
So Div footers that are actually liquid as well as absoluter bottom. Does it even exist?
