I have built a site that uses two divs, one verticle, and one horizontal as graphic style for the ite. The problem I am having is that if the browser is resized very small the divs are then smaller than the website is wide. I have tried fixed positioning but then i get the dreaded overlap when the browser is smaller than the website. Absolute positioning gets rid of the overlap but then brings on the width issue. Is there a way to fix this or am I done for? I have tried everything I know.
Specifically I am referring to the hstripe and vstripe parts of the code.
Here is my code:

The home page validates but I haven't check the rest of them resently. They all appear to display correctly excluding the error I have mentioned.
Thanks for your help,
