Text in bottom right corner - a better way?

[mercurius_1]

I want to put text for a copyright notice into the bottom right corner
of my page. When I say "bottom right," I mean that it will float there
regardless of how the browser window is resized.

I _think_ that what I have so far works well for this positioning
purpose:

<p class="copyright">All materials on this website &copy; Copyright
2005</p>

Where the CSS is:
..copyright
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 1em;
right: 1em;
text-align: right;
}

However, if the browser window is reduced substantially in size, then
this text inevitably comes up and overlaps with the page contents.

I'd prefer not to get the overlapping phenomenon, but I don't know if
what I'm striving for is impossible since I'm sure that what I've run
into is how it's supposed to work unless otherwise specified. Is there
a better way to accomplish this?

The problem could be elsewhere in the code. What is the URL?

OK, please remove the digits from this address (I'm paranoid about web
bot garbage coming my way) and it is this homepage that I am trying to
make work:

www.sarah24pollock68.com

Thank you,

They already have. Your site is number one in Google for Sarah
Pollock.

E-mail address harvesters have probably already crawled your site but
as there are no e-mail addresses on the site won't have found
anything.
and it is this homepage that I am trying to make work:

Make work how? I'm guessing this is something to do with text in the
bottom right corner but as you didn't quote any part of a previous
messages that's all I can guess.

But do you want it to appear in the same place when the
window is scrolled? That requires {position: fixed} (that IE
doesn't support, but which works on sensible browsers)

If not, why not put it as the last thing on the page and
float or position it right?

Absolute positioning doesn't do what you want.
However, if the browser window is reduced substantially
in size, then this text inevitably comes up and overlaps
with the page contents.

Read "if the browser window is a the size I usually have it,
the text comes up and overlaps..."
