Thanks Jurgen!
That makes so much sense...I have since made the changes you suggested and
changed the top gray box and the nav section from position:absolute; to
position:fixed; - this solves the scrolling problem.
I need now to change the rest of the boxes and I will have part of the
problem solved.
I also incorporated using z-index because the nav area was overlapping the
top gray box.
Joe

because the width is 100%, and the position is fixed. The containers read
the 100% as 100% of the screen width, and they go 100% screen width from
where you make the start, not just to the edge of the screen.
