Success!
I stole a copy of Fedegrafo's code and added
body {float:left;}
and it was MAGIC!
Everything back in order. I did not mess with the padding but the
float:left took care of getting the background to stay behind the
table. [You can start looking forward to Monday Fedegrafo!]
On my problem, I added:
body {float:left;}
The background problem disappeared but the padding did need adjustment
as predicted both in the main content section and in the left sidebar.
A quick fix by visually tweaking pixels and I was back in business.
Fedegrafo will have to post his fixed image on Monday for all of you
to admire. Mine will be up sometime later today. I'll leave the .jpg
image of the pre-fixed page up for late comers to see the problem.
