trouble with setting DIV width

[idkmybffjill]

Hey I'm having trouble setting the DIV width attribute for my main content area in my site. This is my current code:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 70px; left: 545px; width: 550px; height: 600px; overflow: auto;">

I know it seems like a simple fix but after trying for an hour to fix this I gave up (babysitting :P)
To see what the error looks like go to http://www.freewebs.com/mandaslayz/-...lder/test.html

Thanx!

What exactly is the problem with the content div?

In the link I posted, you can see that the text continues on when there are no line breaks.
Most of the other sites I code for actually work when I do a DIV attribute (e.a., http://freewebs.com/mandaslayz/)
In the one I'm having trouble with, though, it just added a horizontal scrollbar when I added the width attribute. What I want it to do is just move the text to the next line down instead of over without needing to add any line breaks.

Well, for that, there's a word-wrap property, but I think it won't work with the present CSS.

Do you think that would really cause a problem to you? I mean, are you really going to write long strings inside the div?

It would mainly becuase I'm switching hosts and installing Wordpress, but I got it fixed ;D
