When I see height and width specified in px units, I automatically
assume that that is the cause of the problem. And usually it is;
your page is no exception.
Because of fixed widths, your page works *only* in an 800px-wide
window.
See a modified version of your page at:

If you don't know how high the text is going to be, why do you use
fixed heights (measured in px)?
