The rightbar div (and I would personally rethink this name to something 
more indicative of the content it contains rather than where it appears on 
screen, as it'd be kinda silly if you ever decided to redesign the site and 
put this content on the left) is absolutely positioned, so it doesn't 
affect the document flow.

The footer will position itself immediately after the normally positioned 
body div. That's one of the consequences of haphazard use of absolute 
positioning, I'm afraid. There are other ways to implement that layout that 
don't rely on absolute positioning because really, it's not a very 
complicated one.

Both Rosalie and myself posted useful links to better understand 
positioning in your earlier thread titled "CSS expert opinion needed". Go 
take a closer read.

regards.
