Help with positioning

I am currently working on the website for my webcomic, and have run into a small problem. The html currently looks something like this:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:hover {color:red; text-decoration:none;}
-->
</style>


<style type="text/css">
<!--
#quote {font: italic;
position: relative;
top: .95em;
text-align: center;}
-->
</style>


<style type="text/css">
p {text-indent: .5cm}
</style>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
p{font family: "Verdana", "Times New Roman",
san-serif; font-size:21px; line-height:110%;
letter-spacing:1.5px; word-spacing:1.25px}}
-->
</style>



<style type="text/css">
<!--
h1 {position:relative; right:-30px}
-->
</style>


<style type="text/css">
<!--
#ad {position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 3%}
-->
</style>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a {font-size: 22px; text-decoration: none}
-->
</style>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#logo, #links, {position: relative; top: 10px; left: 28.5%;}
-->
</style>




<style type="text/css">
<!--
#copyright {position: absolute;}
-->
</style>



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function randQ(){
var q = new Array()
q[0] = "The most important part of a journey isn't always reaching the destination: it's the journey itself. -Thamadus, the Figmentist";
q[1] = "Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it. -Thales of Miletus";


var root = document.getElementById('quot');
while(root.hasChildNodes()){
root.removeChild(root.childNodes[0])
}
var oTxt = document.createTextNode(q[Math.floor(Math.random()*q.length)])
root.appendChild(oTxt)
}
onload=randQ;
</script>

My problem is that the section I have in tables is being displayed below the "copyright" section. Can anyone give me some advice on how to make it work the way I wish?It's probably the absolute position on the copyright.
