k this is irritating me! I've designed my site already and have each area (content, sidebars etc) sized to the pixel, but content is not obeying it. It will make the body wider or taller and it just messes up the design. How do I fix this?

You'll need to provide more
You'll need to provide more info for a specific fix, but "generally" speaking you need to tweak your theme, and ensure you set max-width, max-height, and overflow rules for the important parts of your page.
When content exceeds the dimensions of its' containing box, you've got a number of options: overflow:clip; overflow:scroll;

awesome! worked a little. But how come max-height won't work?
Hacking up a lung ...
If you've set the height to (for example) 300px and set overflow:auto ... then if the box needs to be bigger than 300px, scroll bars should appear.
Getting the fine details of a CSS layout working can be frustrating (especially cross-browser).
Relying upon CSS rules to do your style work assumes that all browsers understand and interpret the rules as you understand them. This is seldom the case.
*sigh*
I feel your pain. Good luck.

ya i'm going out of my mind..overflow is not working at all.
anyway, another question..how do I customize how the content is displayed in a view? If I add the node, the entire node displays I just want the body.
