I am having difficulty setting the proper boundaries on my test page: http://www.faithcity.org/test2.html. As you can see if you are viewing on 1024x768 that the text remains within the colored body. However, when viewing the site under different settings the test does not remain in the colored body. I know that I am simply overlooking something, but cannot find it. Any suggestions?

Don't use absolute positioning for that element. There's no reason to. It should appear where you want it without any positioning at all.

Another tip is to use a liquid layout instead of a fixed layout. You'll never get that problem, and your site will still look good on a 20000 x 10000 (made up numbers, of course) resolution.
