I'm working on a new layout that has two tables: 1 with iframe, which is working fine (it's the one where my diary entries are) and another table where my links will be, on the right of the other one. You can see that here: http://div.diary-x.com/journal.cgi?template=greenskies&entry=lorem

My problem is this: the table on the right sort of lays over the table with the diary entry, so that the scrollbar doesnt work. Even when I change the width of the table, it remains that large.

Here are my codes, the above is for the diary-table and the one under that is for the table on the right that is messing it up:

<tr> <table style="position:absolute; left:183px; top:203px; width:651px;"><td align="justify"></DIV></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td class="text"></p>
<p align="justify"></font></p><div align="justify"><div style="height:234; overflow:auto;"><blockquote><iframe src="http://div.diary-x.com/journal.cgi?action=current" width="55%" height="234"></iframe>

<p align="left"></p><center><blockquote></div></td>
</tr>
</table> </blockquote></div></td>
</tr>
</table>




<div style="position: absolute; left: 500px; top: 203px; width"75px; heigth: 150px"><TABLE>
<TR> <TD ROWSPAN=15 COLSPAN=3>
<TD ALIGN=right width="150">site<br>
you<br>
me<br>
art<br>
photography<br>
discoveries<br>
reviews<br>
counter</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE></font></div>


Can anyone please help me and tell me how to make the width smaller so the scrollbar will work again? Thanks!

your html is kinda messed up. You haven't started a <table> but yet you do start with <tr> while that's not really right. Try this instead:

<table style="position:absolute; left:183px; top:203px; width:651px;"><td align="justify">you should add something here otherwise this are won't be viewed on your site</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td class="text"><div align="justify"><div style="height:234; overflow:auto;"><blockquote><iframe src="http://div.diary-x.com/journal.cgi?action=current" width="55%" height="234"></iframe></blockquote></div></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

<TABLE style="position: absolute; left: 500px; top: 203px; width:75px; heigth: 150px">
<TR><TD ROWSPAN=15 COLSPAN=3>add something here too or this area will not be viewed on your site</TD>
<TD ALIGN=right width="150">site<br>
you<br>
me<br>
art<br>
photography<br>
discoveries<br>
reviews<br>
counter</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

for the second bold part add something, or delete the <td rowspan=1 colspan=3>add something here too or this area will not be viewed on your site</TD> completly, and leave the rest like it is.

Love,

Mirna, thank you so much for your help! It's working perfectly now! I'm very grateful to you because I've spent the past two days trying to figure this out and now it's finally right. Thank you!
