Positioning Problem

AHHH!!! If you view www.nerdcouncil.com on a 1000 x 800 screen resolution, it looks perfect, but on an 800 x 600 resolution, the "Lorem ipsum..." box isn't lined up on the left properly. Can someone please tell me why?

Note: I use absolute positioning with %s instead of pixels, so it SHOULD work.

Stylesheet: www.nerdcouncil.com/stylesheet.css - maincontent is the div you want to look for.

Thanks for the help!

Why are you using percent? Percent allowed to change width so I suggest not to do it, that's why you having this problem with different monitor sizes. left: 36.8%; = Would be better if you use padding: 0 0 0 0;

I don't understand what you're saying. If I use anything using pixels, the design would be perfect on a resolution, but wouldn't work on any other.

I'm not an expert at css at all but it looks like the problem is with this:

Code:

.newsimage {
position: absolute;
top: 108px;
left: 35.2%;
}

I don't know how to fix it though.
