Thanks, drhowarddrfine! I hadn't thought of the body tag . . .
You've definitely been a great help with all this. I feel bad though that a lot seems to fall on you! But, I do thank you very much for all the help!
Still continuing to learn!

Header Size Problems
Well everyone,
Out of all the troubles and problems and such that I've been having, I decided with each one of those to just move around them or forget about trying to do what I wanted to do.
It comes down to this thing though that I didn't notice before. My site has larger text. I know the issue IE has with resizing text and all, so I use % instead of em.
But that's not my problem (I think). My problem... -
Well, I haven't been able to figure anything out with the floating problem. So I just set my sidebar to position:absolu te. That way it's kinda ignored and the main part doesn't go skipping to the next line and all that.
I'll have to hard-code a bunch of line breaks in the pages that end up with the sidebar larger than the main section, to keep the footer/copyright info from interfering with it though. I don't think there's too many...Leave a comment:

Well, sorry for the delay. I went ahead and uploaded it and everything, justing using a test page with test css too because it would have messed up the other page too.
Here it is:
Test Page
To get rid of the scroll bars I changed "overflow: auto" to "overflow:visib le" but I don't think that's a good idea, is it?
I still have the issue of the main div jumping down to after...Leave a comment:

(Thanks, I was trying to figure out the whole charset thing)
I thought I removed all the "position:norma l" before, but now they are. Thanks!
I changed everything you mentioned, but it still has the issue.
(Didn't upload it yet to the internet, tested it offline. Would you need/prefer to see the changes yourself, or is that alright?)...Leave a comment:

Resizing problem in IE (& FF)
Hi everyone,
I thought I had it all fixed, but today I noticed IE mistreating my page that I was setting up to use CSS.
Here's the page:
http://workmenforchrist.org/
The CSS affecting that part, is:
...Code:/*Container for Sidebar and Main Part*/ .page { overflow: auto; } . . . . /*Header Positioning*/ .header { position: normal; -
I wish I could help you out, but I'm fairly new to this myself.
But, concerning the thumbnail and everything. I had always thought you did need to make a separate image for it. Yet again, I may definitely be wrong.Leave a comment:

I Deeply apologize . . . I couldn't seem to edit my last post.
But, the problems I was having seem to be solved! I tested it on IE, FF, and Opera and they seemed to work correctly, so . . .
And to get rid of that float bug with IE, I set the "margin-left: 190;" instead, and it worked. I don't think that's the official way to solve that bug, but I found none and this one seems to work.
Then to...Leave a comment:

I hope this isn't wrong to post again (if it counts as double-posting), but I've a different problem.
To fix my above problem I stopped floating my footer and just set it to relative and left:190 like the main part of the page. I don't know if that will pose problem, but it seems to work right.
However I have a different problem and I wanted to post it in this thread instead of starting a whole new one, because it relates...Leave a comment:

Alrighty, back again. Sorry for the delay...
I always knew absolute would pose a problem somewhere along the line . . .
Okay, so, does putting 'position: relative' in place of absolute (with the 'left:190px' to keep it off the sidebar) for my main-page div . . . would that cause any problems. So far it doesn't appear to cause any issues, but are there any that are known to happen in a particular situation?

I was worried about that . . . I have position:absolu te for the main part of my page, in order to position it correctly off the sidebar menu. So that may be causing the '.bottom' to go to the top instead of AFTER the main part. Right?...Leave a comment:

Hmm . . . yes, though I had 'bottom:0px' which just to make sure, I removed the 'px' part and tested it. It's still now going to the bottom but only the bottom of the viewable space and not the actual bottom of the page.
I uploaded a test page to help see what I see. Here's the page if it helps:

Hi drhowarddrfine! Glad to have your help with this, you've always been a great help :)
Wow, I don't know where I had heard of the position:normal . I thought I heard something about how it puts it in the normal flow of the page (first comes first, second and so forth). Thanks for letting me know it doesn't exist!
As for the footer, I tried position: absolute, and all that does is put it on the top of the page, on top...Leave a comment:

Creating a footer
Hi everyone,
Me again, been a while since I've been here, but I'm back again needing help with a simple thing.
I've searched for help on creating a footer, but all the help I've found, was absolutely nothing like what I was looking for.
Could anyone help me with the very simple issue of creating a footer?
I'm trying to create it on my index page (and all of the others, once I figure out... -
Thanks again, I will definitely take a look at the book. I looked at some reviews, and will have to take a trip and try to find it at the library or if need be, get it. Sounds like it could help! Thanks for the help, and advice!...Leave a comment:

Sorry it took me a while to reply,
Thanks for the help! Drhowarddrfine, You know, I figured I would have to deal with the overflow thing, but wasn't knowledgeable with it, so I thank you much for it! I was wondering about how you put the sidebar as a float instead. Before, I was worried about doing that because I thought that it would cause problems with certain parts wrapping around it. But I can see now that if it's in it's own div...Leave a comment:

I'm beginning to think it's impossible to do what I'm seeking, with CSS. I still cannot seem to even begin to think about what may work. I'm searching, and testing, but nothing is working.

Thanks,
I am having trouble though figuring out how I can use percents with the width of those two blocks though. By the way, here is what I have so far:
http://www.workmenforChrist.org/testindex.html
The reason I wonder about how to do it with percents, is the main page is set to go from 600-800 pixels. No smaller than 600, no larger than 800. The two blocks, I want them to be like I mentioned, on the...Leave a comment:

Two "blocks" left and right aligned on the same line
Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to get two blocks of text to be aligned, one left, one right, on the same line.
What I'm trying to mimic is what I did with tables here:
http://www.workmenforChrist.org (under the "Site Map" link)
I tried floating the blocks with the code:
...Code:/*Right box on the index page*/ .rightindexbox { float: right; min-width: 300px;
