I normally don't like to ask for help, but this is really bothering me and I can't fix it...

I made a new layout with a picture [as the background] positioned in the bottom left. Now, I'm trying to place a scrolling text space next to it but I can't figure out how to do that so it'll be the same in all resolutions and most browsers.

And before I try to position the blog, the background pic stays in the same place, but when I do position it, the page starts scrolling and the background stays fixed [because I fixed it, haha] and the xanga ad and the blog start moving, messing up my positioning. But that's only in Firefox.

Did anyone understand that?

So anyways, I was wondering if there was some kind of attribute that would keep the blog at the bottom of the page no matter what, and how [if possible] I could make it so that you couldn't scroll on the page in Firefox. Because I used the overflow:hidden attribute but you can still scroll in Firefox.

That was long. Er....here's my header code:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><script>document.title="WiCKED";</script><br /><style type="text/css"><br /><br />#pnlEnabled table, #htmleditor, #lblTimeZone, #pnlEprops, #rblEprops { <br />width: auto !important; <br />}<br /><br />table.header, table.main, table.footer, table.navigation{<br />width:305px;<br /><br />}<br />table.blogbody, div.blogheader, .caption{<br />width:305px;<br /><br />}<br />div.blogheader, .caption{<br />width:305px;<br /><br />}<br /><br /><br />td.maincenter {<br />text-align:left;<br />}<br />body {   <br />background-image: url(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/khraene/06162185.gif);<br />background-attachment:fixed;<br />background-position:bottom left;<br />background-repeat:no-repeat;<br />background-color: #95CC3A;<br />margin:0;<br />padding:0;<br />overflow:hidden;<br />scrollbar-Arrow-Color:#ffffff;<br />scrollbar-Track-Color:#95CC3A;<br />scrollbar-Shadow-Color: #95CC3A;<br />scrollbar-Face-Color:#95CC3A;<br />scrollbar-Highlight-Color:#95CC3A;<br />scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#95CC3A;<br />scrollbar-3dLight-Color: #95CC3A;<br />font-family: arial;<br />font-size:8pt;<br /><br />color:#000000;<br />}<br />texttable.left, td.mainleft, table.left, table.navigation, table.footer, table.search {<br />display: none;<br />} <br />.modules, .blogbody, table.footer, .standard, .modulemodulefontcolor, td, p, .content, .smalltext {<br />font:normal 8pt arial;<br />color: #000000;<br />text-align:left;<br />}<br />a:link, a:active, a:visited{<br />color: #000000;<br />border-bottom: 2px solid #D74727;<br />}<br />a:hover {<br />color: #898385;<br />text-decoration: underline;<br />border-bottom: 2px solid #FEF0EF;<br />}<br />input, select, textarea, .textfield, .button{<br />border: 2px solid #95CC3A;<br />background-color:#ffffff;<br />color: #000000;<br />font-family: arial;<br />font-size: 8pt;<br />}<br />div.blogheader, .caption {<br />font-family:arial;<br />text-transform:lowercase;<br />font-decoration: underlined;<br />font-size: 8pt;<br />color: #000000;<br />background-color:transparent;<br />text-align: right;<br />font-weight:normal;<br />padding:0px;<br />border-bottom: 3px solid #95CC3A;<br />}<br />table.blogbody {<br />border-top: 1px solid #D74727;<br />background-color:#ffffff;<br />padding:0px;<br />background-image: url();<br />background-position:bottom right;<br />background-repeat:no-repeat;<br />background-attatchment: fixed;<br />}<br />.blogbody td { <br />width:1x;<br />padding-left:0px;<br />}<br />table.search{<br />border:0px;<br />background-color:transparent;<br />}<br />table.search td{<br />background-color:transparent;<br />}<br />hr {<br />color: #BACBD5;<br />}                   <br />hr {display:none;}<br /><br />.blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong {<br />/* edits bolded text in your entry */<br /> color: #95CC3A;<br /> font-family: arial;<br /> font-size: 8pt;<br /> }<br />.blogbody i, .standard i, p i {<br />/* edits italicized text in your entry */<br /> font-weight: italicized;<br /> color: #D74727;<br /> }<br />.blogbody u, .standard u, p u {<br />/* edits underlined text in your entry */<br /> font-weight: underlined;<br /> border-bottom: 2px solid #FEF0EF;<br /> color: #898385;<br /> }<br /></style><br /><div id="blog" style="position: static; overflow: auto; margin-left: 450px; margin-bottom: 0px; height: 469px; width: 335px; background-color: #ffffff;"><table border="0"></div><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Yeah, I know xD But it's just really annoying and I want to fix it so not only my IE friends can see it working, but so it works for me and my Firefox friends.

It doesn't if you do it correctly. The finished result would not be similar to this...

CODE

/* layout junk */
#content{position: absolute;
left: 453px;!important top: 395px;!important
left: 453px; top: 415px; width: 365px; overflow: none; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;}
#side{position: absolute;
left: 195px;!important top: 395px;!important
left: 195px; top: 415px; width: 230px; overflow: none; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;}
h1{font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; color: #FF99CC; border-bottom: #FF9999;}
hr{border: 1px solid #FF99CC;}

Then for the resolution issue.... There have been topics on that, so you should search this forum.
