... seems this was asked here and the implication was it was easy, but no answer has been forthcoming in 3+ years:

Only tested it in FF3 (the sample is dependent on the default line height, so might it will not work properly everywhere [e.g. opera] )
But that can be fixed with a
body {
line-height: 1.2em;
}
Others might include absolute positioning etc. but something that can work in a body and not need to know the elements' height: now that would be interesting!
Why not generate the index from php itself (opendir/readdir/closedir) instead of trying to control how apache does it with php things ?
An alternative might be fixed positioning: glue your header and footer to the viewport and let the scrollable area in between be used by the rest of the page.
(IE6 -as always- needs serious help to get position:fixed to work)
not sure what's too complex about it -- could you clarify?
in the context of this question, i am just trying to prevent having to run any code after the list, but would like to throw some elements down there anyway... i have a workable-enough solution for the moment with :after but it's a little limited.
there are specialized instances in which i do have indexing from php directly but that's when i need element by eleent control of items within the list -- not the case usually.
however, there are issues with pulling the indexes from php, most of which apache autoindex has already built around. (restricted file names, 40 different icons, etc) if i were building indexing itself in php, i would have to work around all of these issues, have a custom config for restricted names, symlinks, directory handling, icons... seems like reinventing a wheel that works.
