Coding help :(

For some reason the content on my page is floating off. what is wrong here? On the style sheet I have this:
<div style="position:absolute; overflow:yes; top:325px; left:212px; width:452px;">

So it shouldn't be doing that :/

It depends what parent elements are doing.

Please post a link so everyone can see the problem div in context.
