Hi there. I have a website i'm creating using divs. The first div I have is a "header" div which is at the top of website and contains a registration and login toolbar. Then I have a banner div for a banner image, a main content div and a footer div all of which is contained within a container div. The problem is with the banner div, I have the background image set to the image of the banner I want to show but I want to make sure that the site does not get so small that the banner image appears outside the banner div. The image is 800px wide and 350px high. The code I have at the moment (both the index page and the CSS is as follows)
PHP Code:

<div id="banner">

<!-- end #header --></div>
<div id="mainContent">

PHP Code:
@charset "utf-8";
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #D6D6D6;
background-image: url(images/layout/metal.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
}
/* Tips for Elastic layouts
1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.

.oneColElsCtrHdr #container {
width: 46em; /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 1px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #header {
background: #FFFFFF;
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #banner {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-height: 350px;
min-width: 800px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
position: top-left;
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #mainContent {
padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0;
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #footer {
padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #000000;
border-top-width: thin;
background:#FFFFFF;
}
.oneColElsCtrHdr #footer p {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
}
However what i'm getting as a result of this is at:
www.sylvanas.net/dead
How do I make sure that the site never gets smaller than 800px wide and that the banner div is always 350px high so that the picture does not overlay on top of the website. I've tried many possible solutions and none of them have worked so far.
) useless in IE right?
