Some Cribbing Problems

hey, i just started making a personal webiste ([url]http://www.freewebs.com/thecrib_[/url]) but have encountered a bit of a problem. If you look carefully you’ll see that the bottom-left of the header isn’t actually touching the top of the updates box (both are embedded flash objects) – which i want it to do. also, if you scroll down you’ll see some text after everything – how do i move the text so it sits inbetween the header and the updates box? also, i need it to display in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
i know next to nothing about html (i used dreamweaver 8 – visual design), so if anybody could modify the source or something so it works, that would be great. thanks!

@johnevaJan 11.2006 — My advice to you is learn HTML or even better XHTML its easy enough and will make your life so much easyer if you plan on making websites.

@FromU2MEJan 11.2006 — These are some of the problems people meet when only using WYSIWYG programs for creating websites...

I totally agree with 'johneva' on the point that you should probably learn HTML (best leaving XHTML for now :p) if you want to continue creating websites - using ie. Dreamweaver don't cope at the long run...

@johnevaJan 11.2006 — Well learn HTML first it is easyer and more important than Action Script.

What use is being good with Flash if you dont know how to use HTML to make your pages?

@madsencarlauthorJan 12.2006 — i know basic html, and thousands of people have insane flash objects without knowing html
