Hi, this is what I am making: http://violetskies.org/if-only/test-me.html

But as you can see, the scrollbar is way out of place. I've had this problem numerous times before and I never know how to fix it. I do stuff with all the numbers and widths and all, but I can never get it to work. Can anyone please tell me what I have to do to get the scrollbar right next to my text, but still keep the text the same width it is now (because it fits so well in the box the way it is now)

Here's the code:

</head>
<body>
<table style="position:absolute; left:183px; top:206px; width:451px;">
</tr>
<tr>

<td class="text"><div align="justify"><div style="height:234; overflow:auto;"><blockquote>(all my content is here)
</blockquote></div></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

<TABLE style="position: absolute; left: 587px; top: 205px; width:75px; heigth: 150px">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN=right width="150"><a href="http://violetskies.org/if-only/me.html">Evelien</a><br>
<a href="http://violetskies.org/if-only/site.html">The site<p>

</TR>
</TABLE>

The page isn't working right now, so I can't really see what you're talking about.... but try this for your first table.

<table style="position:absolute; left:183px; top:206px; width:451px;">
<tr>
<td class="text"><div align="justify" style="height:234; overflow:auto;">(all my content is here)</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
