Default need help with css

hey ive been learning CSS and attempting to make a website using html and css so far its been going pretty good but ive hit a snag.....
Ill try to explain as good as possible.

here is my code so far (no images just code so far)

html code:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Index</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="containter">
<div class="banner">Banner
</div>
<div class="nav">
  <div align="center">Nav</div>
</div>
<div class="sidebar"></div>
<div class="sidebar">
  <div align="center">SideBar</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">Content</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is the CSS part of my website:
Code:
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */

html, body {
	background-color: #2B2E2F;
	margin-left: 0 auto;
	margin-right: 0 auto;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size:12px;
}

.banner {
	border: 1px solid orange;
	width:1000px;
	height:100px; 
	position:absolute;
	top:15px; 
	left:50%;
	margin-left:-500px; 
}

.nav {
	border:1px solid orange;
	width:825px;
	height:35px;
	position:absolute;
	top:124px;
	left:584px;
	margin-left:-400px;
	width: 828px;
}

.containter {
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	width:1020px;
	height:600px;
	position:absolute;
	left:839px;
	margin-left:-510px;
}

.sidebar {
	border:1px solid orange;
	width:160px;
	height:300px;
	position:absolute;
	top:124px;
	left:87px;
	margin-left:-75px;
}

.content {
	border:1px solid orange;
	width:826px;
	height:200px;
	position:absolute;
	top:181px;
	left:763px;
	margin-left:-250px;
	
}
Ok I will explain my problem.

If you read the code you will see
Code:
.content
well this is where my website's content goes in ( pretty obvious) but I want to add a footer (I want the footer to be called
Code:
.footer
) And I want the footer to move if the border of
Code:
.content
gets bigger.

I hope I explained it well enough, please help!

Cheers
Cody
