combining fixed and absolute divs with a global min-width?

Hey,
i'm new to this group beceaus i have a question i have been trying to
solve
for a few days now but i just cant figure it out.

I am trying to constrain the min-width of my site,
but i have some div's in there with a fixed and absolute
positioning...
And these two dont seem to get along?
Or maybe it is beceaus i use z-index to layer some divs.
I have been out-comenting allmost every line of css i wrote but when
it works
i dont like the design of the outcomme...

div#container{
min-width: 960px !important;
}

div#flower{
background-image: url(graphics/flower.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: absolute;
position: fixed;
/*float: left;*/
top: 100px;
left: 10%;
bottom: 0;
width: 250px;
height: 100%;
z-index: 2;
}

two snippets of code to illustrate
here is the link to the site in question.

Is there any function for combining an absolute and a relative URL to result in an absolute URL? Like if I have http://www.domain.com and "../images/1.jpeg" it will evaluate to http://www.domain.com/images/1.jpeg. I know WinInet for windows has a function that does this called InternetCombineUrl, I just need the same function in PHP

On some suggestions from this group, I've started to turn my internal helpdesky site for our company to non-absolute positioning.

Using a simpler example, below's some stuff...what I'm trying to do, is get the DIVs inside the .mainbody DIV to be 100% of their parent's...

Masters: On two or three-column layouts, one column often has a list of links. Scrolling the page hides them. I'm aware there's supposed to be the ability to fix the column (frame-like). I have some bits of such code but haven't yet made it work well. Question: Why have I never seen an example on the web? Not that I've seen everything, but I've seen numerous pages

I want to implement drag and drop for tables, divs, spans. The problem is that I don't know how wide or long my tables, divs and spans are going to be in advance so I cannot use absolute coordinates. (It always seemed odd to me that there is no function called GetExtent that would return the bounding rectangle of an object -- this would solve my problem). There is a way, however, to fetch the coordinates of an object (such as a table, or...

Hi, since all my divs are absolute I just declare this css: div { position:absolute; } But its not working. Seems as this does not do anything. All of my divs behave as if no specific position behavior has been specified.

I've searched Google and the group archives, and came up empty, but maybe I just haven't selected the right search term. This concerns only the screen -- printing isn't an issue. I'm also not concerned about the appearance of the page in IE6 as long as the page is still usable. I want to have two pseudo-frames, using only CSS and no JS. The top "frame", 4em high, is a menu, and I want it to stay at the top of the viewport. The rest...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
