Evening

I am trying experiencing problems with a new layout. I am trying to achieve the following style:

http://www.further-flight.co.uk/testing/notes/attempt.htm

My current layout has ended up like this:
http://www.further-flight.co.uk/testing/notes/failedlayout.jpg

Code:

<div id="menu"><?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/testing/notes/menu.php');?></div>

<div id="main">
1.1 Allow Apostrophes
</div>

	<div id="content">
	<p>
	Information relating to allow apostrophes here
	</p>
	</div>

<div id="main">
method of testing
</div>

	<div id="content">
	<p>
	Information relating to method of testing here
	</p>
	</div>

<div id="main">
testing criteria
</div>

	<div id="content">
	<p>
	Information relating to testing criteria here
	</p>
	</div>

<div id="main">
current feedback
</div>

	<div id="content">
	<p>
	Information relating to current feedback here
	</p>
	</div>

CSS:

#menu{
position: absolute;
margin-top: -3px;
z-index: 1;}

#main{
position: absolute;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 200px;
width: 75%;
height: 15px;
font: bold 13px verdana;
color: white;
background: #606060 url(/images/arrowstop.gif) no-repeat 8px 6px; /*last 2 values are the x and y coordinates of bullet image*/
margin-bottom: 0; /*bottom spacing between header and rest of content*/
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 7px 0 7px 31px; /*31px is left indentation of header text*/
z-index: 2;}

#content{
position: absolute;
margin-top: 40px;
margin-left: 200px;
width: 76%;
font: 13px verdana;
color: #000000;
background: #E9E9E9; 
padding: 7px 10px 7px 10px; /*31px is left indentation of header text*/
z-index: 2;}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

my browser is telling me that your site has been reported as distributing harmful software. you might want to check on that.

otherwise, maybe try a layout without the absolute positioning. its a lot easier and will solve a lot of small problems.

i suggest posting this in the html/css forum instead of the php one, you might get some better responses.
