I don't need the blank space at the bottom and at the right {scroll and you'll see}. How do I get rid of them?

ok, well that's another problem..
if it's aligned, it should be that if you scroll to the right, there's this big blank gap which also appears if you scroll down...

I made some changes, tell me if it's misaligned in other browsers.
I'm using IE.

The problem that a lot of people seem to have is specifying a height: attribute in their CSS properties. Everyone does it, and I don't know why, because usually it's unnecessary and just creates problems. Try taking those out and see what happens.

by taking out the height, the writings will be longer than the picture itself.
and I want the content to be in scrollbars.

I see what your talking about. my guess:

#main {
background:#transparent;
float: left;
margin: 575 auto;
height:499px;
width:475px; }

you've got the margin too big. but I couln't be certain. try setting it to zero unless you know that not the problem.

Ok it was bugging me too and its not even my friggin site. So I copied the code and messed with it. This is what I got, no blank space. Yea! Try it and see. Next time dont use sooo many divs. Keep it simple. Oh yeah and when a banner is placed in that positon whether or not the content will be next to it or under it, its easier just to make it the background and build around it. Hope this helps happy.gif

Try taking out this part, and the div id "wrap" at the bottem of the code;

div#wrap {
background:#transparent;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
margin:751;
width:500px; }

I was thinking about making the image as the background instead of a div.
Thank you much.
I see how the code is much simpler now.
The original code was modeled after this one layout that I saw, I basically used that one ever since.

I see how I don't need to make #content1 and #content2.

I'll credit you, most definitely.

P.S. : Did the blank spaces show up because of so many div's or a case of outdated/excessive coding?

Your welcome happy.gif

These two codes were causing the extra space.

div#wrap {
background:#transparent;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
margin:751;
width:500px; }

#main {
background:#transparent;
float: left;
margin: 575 auto;
height:499px;
width:475px; }
