I have a few more questions on css positioning.
How to center the content;
What about the positioning of the inside tags? If you want to position at a specific place.

Code:

	<body style="width: 100%; background-color: #808000;" onLoad="parseXML(); bodyOnload();">
		<div id="master" style="float: left; display: block; text-align: left; width: 955px;">
			<div id="navbar" style="position: absolute; left: 10px; top: 10px; margin: 0 0 10px 0; border: none; background-color: #FFCC00; width: 200px; height: 180px;"></div>
			<div id="picbar" style="position: absolute; left: 10px; top: 200px; margin: 0 0 10px 0; border: none; background-color: #FFCC00; width: 200px; height: 390px; overflow-y: scroll;"></div>		
			<div id="maindiv" style="position: absolute; left: 230px; top: 10px; border: none; background-color: #FFFFAE; width: 700px; height: 580px;">
				<div id="galbar" style="position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 0px; z-index: 3;"></div>
			</div>		
		</div>
	</body>

Can you provide a little more detail on what your are trying to do? Do you have a specific site that you need this code for? a link to the site would allow me to see what you are trying to position and then I can reply with the needed CSS. I'm not a CSS expert or anything, but I have written enough to provide some basic positioning assistance.

If I am understanding correctly that all you want to reposition is the content within, all you need to do is change the top and left numerics.
