Page alignment w/ mix of layer no layer

I am trying to build a page with some layer-fixed-in-window elements and some html elements, but I am having trouble with horizontal alignment. On my screen -a 12" iBook, everything looks fine, but on my wife’s Macbook, the wider screen, and browser window, leave my layer elements hugging the left side, while the html elements move away toward the right, relative to window size. I want, obviously, for the page to hold together for any browser or screen size.
I have a series of stacked Target Image elements as layers, with a bunch of rollovers which must scroll. I need to keep the layer elements, so they will always be viewable in the window. I have tried every action and every combination of inspector settings I can think of, but to no avail. I have thought about limiting the window size, but this appears difficult to achieve, and not particularly desirable.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anything with a “fixed-in-window” setting isn’t going to work properly in IE6. Just a heads up.

Also, it sounds like your HTML items are either aligning/floating/set
from the right side of the page or the page is centered so when the
browser expands the non fixed items move with it while the fixed items
remain fixed.

If you send a link through we can let you know for sure but without
seeing it that’s what I suspect is happening.

You are correct. My fixed-in-window elements were not moving when the window got bigger, but the other elements were centering. I have tried to fix this with some success by putting the fixed-in-window elements as percent distance from the right side, and aligning the page right. Now, my various elements space themselves proportionally, somewhat, across the page.
As to the IE6 issue, my audience is hopefully beyond IE, or they are used to things not working.

Thanks for your input.
