AACKK!!!  She is not, Not, NOT Stuck with Abs pos.  Two <br />
tags will do no good, nor is it good, semantic xhtml...  The 
problem with the page is the absolute positioning.  There's no
reason for it at all... 

This layout could be achieved with a single container div, a 
little floating in the header and the rest of it is very 
standard. 

Minh, have you checked your page in a standards compliant browser?
Since you're designing to standards now, you should be... You also
might include a doctype in your html.  Your CSS throws errors on
the border propertys for your mainbody class.  1 is not a valid 
width, it should be 1px. Internet Exploder just lets you get away
with it.

I'm pretty busy right now, but if you want help tomorrow, I'll give
you a hand.
