Any recommendations for a user group discussing css?

Here's the question I want to post to one of those forums:

I'm trying to create a web page with an image and a navigation bar that 
are fixed followed by content that can scroll "under" the image and 
navigation bar. I have succeeded with that. I also want all of that 
centered in the browser window with a background color all around 
everything. I have succeeded with that, too, except that when something 
in the div with the main content is long enough to scroll, it shows up 
above the image and navigation bar. Is there some way to hide that other 
than creating an image of a solid color matching that of the body color 
and putting that before the image?

Structure is as follows:

<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="sitemast"></div>
<div id="navbar"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
</div> /* container */
</body>

css is as follows:

* {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   }

body {
   background: #000080; /* navy */
   margin:0;
   padding: 0 0 100px 0; /* to have a bottom "border" */
   }

#container {
   position: relative;
   top: 30px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   width: 800px;
   background: #ffffff;
   }

#sitemast {
   height: 150px; /* height of image */
   width: 800px;
   background: url(images/tetons.jpg) no-repeat;
   color: white;
   }

#navbar {
   width: 800px;
   height: 18px;
   margin: 0;
   background: #87CEFA; /* LightSkyBlue */
   }

#main {
   padding: 1em;
   }



Thanks for ideas about the problem or another suitable forum.
