Making an image align vertically bottom in resizeable div

parent div is 100% height - I want child div to align bottom

[PublicSphere]

I have a div that is a background image. I'd like it to align to the bottom of the parent div, which is height 100%, so it resizes. I've seen some examples on the web of absolute positioning but my parent div is aligned center and is 100% height so I can't use absolute positioning as far as i know.

Any suggestions?

I have a div that is a background image

this is a little a confusing .

Could you use something like this:

#parentdiv {
background:url(../myimage.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
}

where the main div has an id of parentdiv.

to apply the background directly to the parent div, and not worry about absolute positioning at all?
