thanks for your answer, George! I know absolute positioning is maybe not best practise but often i'm also running into problems when using floating for doing several-columns layouts. And so i do now as well:
I reangearred my site http://www.goeldi.eu/abusart without absolute positioning, and I have the same problem with my background-image: it's cut off on the right side when the browser window is too small and I scroll to the right. I do not understand why this happens. So still something wrong? At least the image is shown at its full extension in vertical direction...
