Vertically Align a Button in JQuery Mobile

I'm working on a JQuery Mobile app. This app has a button in the "content" portion that I want to align at the bottom of the "content" section. My html looks like this:

<div id="myPage" data-role="page">
    <div data-role="header" data-position="fixed">
        <a href="/page1" data-icon="arrow-l" data-iconpos="notext" class="ui-btn-left jqm-home">Back</a>
        <h1>My App</h1>
        <a href="/page3" class="ui-btn-right" data-role="button" rel="external" data-transition="slide">Next</a>
    </div>

    <div data-role="content">
        <ul data-role="listview"> 
            <li data-role="list-divider">
              Step 2 of 3
            </li>            
        </ul><br /><br />

        <!-- Main content Goes Here -->
        <br />

        <!-- I want the following button to be vertically aligned to the bottom so that it sits on top of the footer content -->
        <input type="button" value="View Table" onclick="return viewTable();" data-mini="true" />

    </div>

    <div data-role="footer" class="ui-bar" data-position="fixed"> 
      <!-- My Footer Content -->
    </div>
</div>

How do I vertically align that button so that it is just above the footer? If I put it in the footer itself it doesn't look right because of the colors used.

One way to do this off the top of my head is to wrap your button in a div with an id and add some css that absolutely positions to bottom. Example:

html

<div id="viewTableBtn">
    <input type="button" value="View Table" onclick="return viewTable();" data-mini="true" />
</div>

css

#viewTableBtn{
    position:absolute;
    bottom:15px;
    width:94%;
}​
