CSS vertical-align: text-bottom;

Question

Hi there I'm trying to position text to the bottom of the <div>. Neither vertical-align:text-bottom; or vertical-align:bottom;

The trouble is below it is my navigation buttons and if I push it down then they go out of alignment.

Is there a way I can work around this with my CSS?

a:link {color:#452809}
a:hover {text-decoration:underline;color:#f00}
a:visited {color:#3886e0}
.fleft {float:left}
.fright {float:right}
.clear {clear:both}
* {border:0;margin:0}
**body {font:12px Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#666;background:#3cb40d}
#main {margin:0 auto;width:780px;background:#fff url(images/vitalbodyhealth.gif) no-repeat center top}
#header {width:780px;margin:10px; height:210px}
#logo {padding-right:10px;text-align:right;padding-bottom:9px;height:150px;vertical-align:text-bottom} 
#logo a {text-decoration:none;text-transform:lowercase;font-style:italic;font-size:16px;color:#fff;font-weight:bold}
#logo H2 a {font-size:10px}
#buttons {padding-top:0px;height:40px;width:780px}
#buttons li {display:inline}

#buttons a:hover {width:80px;height:36px;text-decoration:underline}
#content {width:720px;margin:0 auto;padding:20px}**
.inner_copy {border:0;color:#f00;float:right;width:50%!important;margin:-100% 0 0 0;overflow:hidden;line-height:0;padding:0;font-size:11px}

#left H1 {font-size:24px;padding:0}
#left H2 {font-size:18px;padding-top:10px}
#left a {color:#3886e0}
#left a:hover {text-decoration:none;color:#f00}
#left a:visited {color:#3886e0}
#right {float:right;width:240px; background:#EFEFEF}
#sidebar {width:240px;background:#EFEFEF}
#sidebar ul {margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none}
#sidebar li {margin-bottom:15px}
#sidebar li ul {padding:10px;border-top:none}
#sidebar li li {margin:0;padding:3px 0}
#sidebar li h2 {height:36px;margin:0;padding:10px 0 0 20px;background:#47872B;font-size:18px;color:#fff}
#sidebar a:link, #sidebar a:visited {text-decoration:none}
#sidebar a:hover {text-decoration:underline}
#sidebar li a {padding-left:10px;background:url(images/img09.gif) no-repeat 1px 5px}
#footer {background:#452809;height:47px;width:780px;margin:0 auto;font-size:10px;color:#fff;padding-top:23px;text-align:center;}
#footer div {padding:10px 38px}
#footer a {color:#fff;font-size:10px;text-decoration:none}
.padding {padding:10px;color:#f00;font-weight:bold}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Modern solution

Flexbox was created for exactly these kind of problems:

#container {
    height: 150px;/*Only for the demo.*/
    background-color:green;/*Only for the demo.*/
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: flex-end;
}

<div id="container">
    <span>Text align to center bottom.</span>
</div>
