    In a box of fixed height you cannot put text of arbitrary length...

    #1. Tell the guy who created it to learn to clean up the code from the Apple (Mac) specific garbage; i.e. to learn to hand code if he does it for a living... His code is a nightmare to figure out.

    #2. Yes, there is: he needs to remove the height definition from that div.

    #3. Also tell him to learn NOT to use inline style.

    You also need to remove the margin from you <p> tags as that's breaking the boxes at the top - the background needs to be set to repeat - and should be a much smaller image.

    Creating boxes like that correctly is pretty easy. Heck, you can steal the code from a million other sites that set it up the right way.

    Whoever coded this has no idea what they're doing.

    What was the problem in the first place?

    You shouldn't edit your original post to remove questions as it makes the entire thread meaningless. Just reply to the thread that the problem's solved.

        Hey Mike,

        Just leave the questions next time for others to learn from ... the solutions often make no sense without the problem. You can edit the OP to put PROBLEM SOLVED at the top or bottom of the post. If relevant, you might add which solution solved the problem for you.

        Good luck.

        Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
