What kind of div are you using? It doesn't look like a normal div...

[mattrox]

the first div is for the flash banner but it has a z-index of 1 so its at the bottom layer.

I don't think you need one. The blog will start after all the other stuff. You put in a div if you want the blog in a certain position on the page.

[mattrox]

<div style="overflow: auto; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 0; z-index: 3; width: 286px; height: 196px; margin-top: -205px; margin-left: -215px;">

[avalon*]

What's the 50% for? it should be a number, like "50px". And you already have "margin-left" and "margin-top", so why do you need "top" and "left"?

[*mona lisa*]

^That's true. It just screws it up, especially if it's in the same code.

[largosama]

try setting position:static, and using only either "left" and "top" or "margin-left" and "margin-top"

[mattrox]

anyone know how i can fix it so that the text doesnt cut off when i hide the horizontal scroll? I was thinking the width would fix it but the text wont drop a line

CODE

<div style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto; position: static; z-index: 3; width: 295px; height: 190px; margin-top: -202px; margin-left: -223px; max-width: 295px; min-width: 294px;">

and thank you everyone for helping fix my earlier problem
