CSS: Place footer always at the bottom

Question

I have following page layout:

<header></header>
<div id="content"></div>
<aside></aside>
<footer>
 <ul>
  <li></li>
 </ul>
</footer>

Now I want to place the footer exactly in the left corner:

text-align: left;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
margin: -16px -8px;

Now is the negative margin not the best solution. Are there better ways to positionate a footer directly in the corner?

Regards

Answer 2

Check this site Sticky Footer

Example:

* {
    margin: 0;
}
html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto -142px; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
}
.footer, .push {
    height: 142px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}
