Lock Footer Location?

Hey Tom,
I've been struggling with this component for a while, but as a complete WordPress/web newbie and despite a bunch of searching, I can't seem to find a solution.
I'd like to make my footer always appear at the bottom of the page instead of floating up and leaving space beneath it when there isn't enough content to push it downward.
Site home (where footer is all the way down) http://depts.washington.edu/cdbrm/wordpress/
Page with floating footer: http://depts.washington.edu/cdbrm/wordpress/research-labs/beier-lab/
I don't want to add padding to the content container because it makes pages with enough content look goofy. I'd also prefer not to disable to footer, if possible, though that will be my solution if necessary. Is it an issue with the background image settings? Or the footer content? or is it even possible to fix?
Thanks so much!
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Can you try the CSS in this post?

Let me know.
Thanks, Tom! The code works great for when they're just a tad short on content (which I suspect will be my main issue). On pages where they're really short I'll probably just disable the footer, or make them come up with more content to fill the space sufficiently. Thanks so much! I appreciate the help!
You're welcome :)
