Answer 1

I suggest to use a div like

<div id="Footer"> content </div>

then in your css put this

#Footer
{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0px;
    height: 3px;
    background-color: #666;
    color: #eee;
}

or you can use AjaxControlToolkit library

I Also strongly recommand you change your layout from Table to div

Answer 2

I'm would also recommend a div structure using floating.

Markup:

<div class="bodyWrap">
  <div class="header">
    <!-- Insert content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="content">
    <!-- Insert content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="footer">
    <!-- Insert content here -->
  </div>
  <div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>

Css:

.bodyWrap
{
 width: 500px;
}
.header, .content, .footer
{
 width: 100%;
 float:left;
}
