already having problems... Options

[StefanieR]

I've just started with my overlay and I'm already having problems...

Clickie

I took out my overlay images and made it just blue to show where it will go (I want the actual layout to be a surprise when I get it right, lol).

You may have to scroll down, but you'll see light gray box spanning the screen, presumably from the bottom links. I tried to hide them to get rid of the box, but it is still there.

I tried overlaying a background image, which didn't work. The only thing that did work was overlaying an image, creating a horizontal scrollbar (I only did it to see if it would work, I knew that would happen). I feel like an idiot, but it's got me wanting to rip my hair out...

The first code made the gray only show up on the left side (it's still up if you need to see it).

This is in my About Me:

<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: 8eb05c;
}
.Main {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
top:0px;
width:800px;
z-index:1;
margin-left:-400px;
padding:0px;
border:0px;
background-color:6bafc2;}
</style>

----------
This is in I'd Like to Meet:

<div class="main">

<table style="width:800px;
height:1200px;
cellpadding:0px;
cellspacing:0px;
border:0;
background-color:6bafc2;}">
<tr><td valign="top">

All of your content goes in here, whether it be tables, flash, or whatever!
