im having a problem with text on my pages and photos being stretched

i am trying to put this layout
http://ballboyink.com/layout/

into my ebay auctions
http://cgi.ebay.com/test_W0QQitemZ200012467681QQihZ010QQcategoryZ27268QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i cant seem to get the text to stay inside the boxes that i need them to be in. everytime i scroll down on the ebay page, the text stays still and doesnt follow the box that they are supposed to be in.

the other problem i have is with the photos stretching when they are scrolled over in the layout. i need them to remain the original image size.

can someone please look at the html i uploaded and tell me what im doing wrong?

edit: if you restore down your browser, you will see that the text in the test is in a different location than when it is maximized.
thanks in advance :)

I'm not so sure this is fixable on your part. The ebay page is such a hack job of HTML that your correct HTML could be jumbled by their incorrect HTML.

for your search box, put this code in the seach page

<body bgcolor="#000000" style="overflow:hidden;">

it also looks to me as if your DIV tags that are your defined text area's are beign smashed down because of the second graphic at the top. If you used tables, and defined the gradient as the background image for that <TD> your text will flow over it flawlessly, and you will not have to worry about the misalignment issue you are having now.
