window resizing issues, stuff moves when i resize window... Options

[whitejellO]

so basically whenever i maximize my internet explorer window thing a bunch of stuff on the left side shifts around and sometimes overlaps, depending on where the scrollbar location is. i'd appreciate if anyone could tell me why that's happening and how to fix it...my guess is it has to do w/ the absolute location thing but i'm new at this and am far from having any expertise. my blog is at http://www.whitejello.blogspot.com

it cuz you gotta postion your left module a little lower... hmm use something like this

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><div id="particulars" style="position:absolute; width:#; height:#; top:#; left:#; z-index:2; overflow: auto; border: 1px #XXXXXX solid; <br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

replace the # with your own numbers try ajusting the margin top a little lower and replace the XXXXXX with your own color code.

i used the position:absolute already, but the content on the left is in tables not div...would that make a difference if i changed it to div?

and also, what's a z-index?

umm just try using a div and see if it works better then tables.. and hmm im not sure whats a z-index but i think its a organized html stuff.. i searched googles and i came up with this

so i changed them all to divs instead but they still move, but at least they move all together so that nothing will get squished. Anyway, at least I now realize that divs are sooo much easier to work with. Thanks for the help!
