I don't have IE8 to test this out, but I'm pretty sure it should work:
<div class="screen">
<!-- code -->
<div class="innerdiv">
text or other content
</div>
</div>
and the css:
.screen{
position: relative;
}
.innerdiv {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
This should place the .innerdiv in the bottom-right corner of the .screen class. I hope this helps :)
