I've fixed the missing end tag, but it hasn't made a difference. According to everything that I've read, "position absolute" and "margin-bottom:0" should put an element that's last in the markup at the bottom of its container element. That fact that it isn't doing that, is what's making me tear my hair out. I suspect that the problem lies further up the page - a property of one of the other elements is disrupting the flow. Just can't seem to see it.
