DIV :after - add content after DIV

Website layout

I'm designing a simple website and I have a question. I want after all <div> tags with class="A" to have a image separator on the bottom, right after the <div> (refer to image, section in red). I'm using the CSS operator :after to create the content:

.A:after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    background: url(separador.png) center center no-repeat;
    height: 29px;
}

The problem is that the image separator is not displaying AFTER the <div>, but right after the CONTENT of the <div>, in my case I have a paragraph <p>. How do I code this so the image separator appears AFTER <div class="A">, regardless of the height and content of div A?

Position your <div> absolutely at the bottom and don't forget to give div.A a position: relative - http://jsfiddle.net/TTaMx/

    .A {
        position: relative;
        margin: 40px 0;
        height: 40px;
        width: 200px;
        background: #eee;
    }

    .A:after {
        content: " ";
        display: block;
        background: #c00;
        height: 29px;
        width: 100%;

        position: absolute;
        bottom: -29px;
    }​
