this is the entire html code. I appologize if it's difficult to read. I actually just modified the page so that everything is positioned using tables and it seems to work fine.

<br> A topographic map is a detailed and accurate graphic representation of cultural
and natural features on the ground. They are available in two standard scales,
1:50 000 and 1:250 000. The area covered by a given map sheet is determined
by its latitude and longitude. Because of the standard NTS numbering system,
knowing the map number allows you to quickly identify adjacent maps.

design your page in or for 800*600 res, this is really the lowest res you should support. Once you design for this res you wont get the overlapping problem with higher res screens
Hi Blues77,
The settings of width, top, height in % causes the problem
With the red changes I made in the div settings it should work fine. (as sjravee said when you desigh for 800*600 you won't get any peoblem. A lot of (professional) sites design for 800*600 and have a blank area at the right (or the center the page and have left and right blank area)
The green adds are because I like that more
<div style="position:absolute; border:medium outset black; left:10px; width:750; background-color: #336699; layer-background-color: #336699; color:#C5DAF1">
<div style="border:thin solid black; position:absolute; left:10px; width:750; top:70; padding-left:8px; padding-right:8px;">
<div align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><b>National Topographic System of Canada</b></font></div>
<div style="border:thin solid black; position:absolute; left:10px; width:750; top:70">
---------------------------------------------------------
BTW: why not code your style in a style sheet or inline style and give the div's a classname:
<style>
.div1 {
position:absolute;
border:medium outset black;
left:10px;
width:750;
background-color: #336699;
layer-background-color: #336699;
color:#C5DAF1
}
.div2 {
border:thin solid black;
position:absolute;
left:10px;
width:750;
top:70;
padding-left:8px;
padding-right:8px;
}
</style>
<div class=div1"></div>
<div class=div2"></div>
Hope this helps,

Hi Blues77,
oops, I made some mistakes.
These should be the right changes:

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="border:thin solid black; position:absolute; left:10px; width:750; top:70; padding-left:8px; padding-right:8px;">
<!--main div tag to hold page contents-->
<div style="position:absolute; left:10px; width:750; top:200">
