#container{	position: relative;	margin: 0;	padding: 0;	margin: 0 auto 0 auto;	width: 750px;	height: 1770px;	background-color: #735C41;}#header{	position: absolute;	margin-top: 10px;	margin-left: 10px;	width: 730px;	height: 190px;	background-color: #302215;}#header img {	border-style: none;}#content{	position: absolute;	margin-top: 210px;	margin-left: 10px;	width: 460px;	height: 1400px;	background-color: #302215;}#subcontent{	position: absolute;	margin-top: 210px;	margin-left: 480px;	width: 260px;	height: 400px;	background-color: #302215;}#subcontent img{	border-style: none;	margin-left: 5px;	margin-top: 5px;}#subcontent a {	color: #FFF0A5;	font-style: normal;}#menu{	margin-left: 10px;}#footer{	position: absolute;	margin-top: 1620px;	margin-left: 10px;	width: 730px;	height: 140px;	background-color: #302215;}

More changes would have to be made, the CSS is just not built to expand properly. You would want to remove all of the absolute positioning and do something a bit more like this (NOTE: untested in multiple browsers, only Firefox):

#container{	margin: 0;	padding: 0 0 10px 0;	margin: 0 auto 0 auto;	width: 750px;	background-color: #735C41;}#header{	margin-top: 10px;	margin-left: 10px;	width: 730px;	height: 190px;	background-color: #302215;}#header img {	border-style: none;}#content{		margin: 10px;		float: left;	width: 460px;	background-color: #302215;}#subcontent{		margin-top: 10px;	margin-left: 480px;	width: 260px;	background-color: #302215;}#subcontent img{	border-style: none;	margin-left: 5px;	margin-top: 5px;}#subcontent a {	color: #FFF0A5;	font-style: normal;}#menu{	margin-left: 10px;}#footer{		clear: both;	margin: 10px;		padding: 20px;	background-color: #302215;}
