Hi,

I know it seems like I'm posting out of the blue, but I've been
on and off this list as workload permits!

However recently I've been making a real effort to use CSS instead
of tables for layout, but I still don't quite get it...

Here's a new demo of my personal website: http://gorge.org/newdes/

Now if you view in IE and the window is wider than 751 pixels,
you will probably see it how I intend - with nav down the left
and content filling the space on the white background.

But if you narrow the browser window, the content goes below
the navbar. Argh! 

And in firefox, it doesn't matter how wide the browser - it does 
the same.

So there is plainly something I'm not getting. Perhaps a way to
anchor the main content to the top? I've tried giving it 
position: absolute but couldn't get that to work either! 

I'm sure I am missing the point so I am very happy to learn how
to fix this if anyone is able and willing to advise me.

Up til now I've always used tables for layout so I'd really 
like to understand and get this nailed!

Cheers,
--
