How to position from bottom in IE?

Hi,
I have a site where I need to position a div (nested inside another div) at the very bottom of its parent div. In Firefox and Safari it works fine with the following;

<div id="leftmenu">
			<ul>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
			</ul>
			
      <div id="language">
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">item 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">item 3</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
		</div>

and this css:

#language {
	width: 180px;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0;
}

But this doesn’t seem to work with IE for Mac. The “language” div simply disappears. Maybe because IE positions it below the bottom?
I am simply not sure how I should calculate bottom positioning. Also I haven’t checked this on PCs yet.
Can somebody advice me?
