I'm trying to add a white box on top of a background.

The white box is 664 pixels wide x 768 pixels tall. It has an X value of 180 and Y value of 0.

Here's my code so far:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

body {
background-color: #fff5ba;
background-image: url('Background.png');
no-repeat center scroll;
}

-->
</style></head>
<div style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:150px;">
<img src="images/images/bar_02.gif" width="30" height="768">

<div style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:844px;">
<img src="images/images/bar_02.gif" width="30" height="768">


I am new to Dreamweaver. Does anyone have any code for this?

There's a better way to do this without absolute positioning.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Page title here</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
background:#fff5ba url(Background.png)no-repeat center scroll;
}
#wrapper {
width:724px;
height:768px;
position:relative; /* IE7 & IE6 need this */
margin-left:180px;
}
#left {
float:left;
width:30px;
height:768px;
margin-left:-30px;
position:relative; /* IE6 needs this to show float */
background:#000 url(images/bar_02.gif);
}
#right {
float:right;
width:30px;
height:768px;
background:#000 url(images/bar_02.gif);
}
#content {
margin:0 30px 0 0;
background:#fff;
padding:10px;
height:768px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
<div id="content">
Main content goes here
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
