Re: Divs not positioning correctly

I have
moved the new #container divs off the style sheet to be embeded style in
the
HTML because the position of the content will be different on every page
in
this site.

This is a misconception. Why would it matter where you edit the location
information? It doesn't.

The problem is the new content divs will not line up properly with
the rest of the page without using absolute position.

Then you are doing something wrong. It's rarely *necessary* to use absolute
positioning.

If you view this page
with a wide wide screen monitor, the divs move stay in their absolute
position,

Move stay? What you mean is that the page content moves while the absolute
positioned elements stay absolutely positioned, right?

Is there a way to put the content
divs in relative position with the rest of the page without placing them
within
site style sheet? This site is 20 pages and growing, and I hate to put
that
many unique divs in the site's style sheet.

You are really in need of this article -

I need to be using tables instead

Tables would work until you have a better grasp of how and when to use
absolute positioning.

I started my index page on www.waterfordarfur.com with one of Dreamweaver
CS3's
starter pages. The page is a fixed width, centered, one column page. I
have
moved the new #container divs off the style sheet to be embeded style in
the
HTML because the position of the content will be different on every page
in
this site. The problem is the new content divs will not line up properly
with
the rest of the page without using absolute position. If you view this
page
with a wide wide screen monitor, the divs move stay in their absolute
position,
which is now on top of the left sidebar.

I have tried positioning these divs using relative positioning, but they
always move beneath the main content area. Is there a way to put the
content
divs in relative position with the rest of the page without placing them
within
site style sheet? This site is 20 pages and growing, and I hate to put
that
many unique divs in the site's style sheet.

Maybe my overall approach is wrong and I need to be using tables instead.
I
would like some input on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance. this
forum
is great. Attached are both my HTML code and the styple sheet.
