Div positioning / resolution problem

Hi all,

I’m having problems with my positioning of text and would really appreciate it if some of you guys could help.

My page looks fine in 1280×960 but when I view it in 1024×768 the text is somewhere else. I’ve tried using % instead of px but still can’t get it to work. I have a div box (#news) inside another div box (#container) and I want text inside the the #news (I’ve higlighted the place in red in the code). How do i go about it so the text stays in the same place in all resolutions? And also after that I would like to have thumbnails on the right under “recent work”.

Here’s a screenshot of my site, i want the text displayed left of the dotted line where it says news and the thumbnails on the right: [URL=”http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/7444/layoutideavolatile02up3.jpg”]http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/7444/layoutideavolatile02up3.jpg[/URL]
