I need help with making my webpage fixed width instead of liquid. When I resize the browser the text collapses onto itself. I want it to stay in place. I changed my container size to pixels instead of a percentage, but the text still collapses when I change the size of the browser. Any way to keep this a fixed width?

    <p>
    Beanie Baby was brought into our rescue from Lancaster, PA where she and her two siblings were born to a breeder. When she was born she was the size of an actual beanie baby, hence the name! She was adopted in 2008 to a family of three who loved and cared for her. With some good TLC, Beanie became an outgoing pup who loved everyone and every other animal, but she was a total momma's girl! She loved to snuggle under the blankets and was always there to greet you after a long day at work. Beanie passed away in 2011.

    Tinkerbell first came into our rescue 18 years ago. He loved to spend his days outside soaking up the sun and the nights inside sleeping an the foot of someone's bed. Every time Tinkerbell heard a can opener, he came running assuming that he was going to get a helping of tuna. He was a cat that enjoyed his personal space, but had a daily routine to come visit someone for a good scratching. Tinkerbell passed away in 2012.

    Sadie is a beautiful tan/white hamster. She came into our rescue when her first family could not give her the attention she required. In 2010, a family adopted Sadie as their first family pet. The family recognized that just like any other animal, even small caged creatures need love and attention. Sadie loves to go on adventures through the house in her spinning ball and find new paths through her jungle tube maze, which the family constantly adds to. For Sadie, her second chance was the best thing that could have happened to her.

This is because your #dog p, #cat p and #other p rules specify position: absolute.

You can solve this problem by either removing that rule from them, or also assigning widths to them as well. For example, the following will ensure your dog paragraph stays 300px wide:

#dog p {
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
left: 610px;
right: 320px;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 20px;
letter-spacing: 1.5px;
width: 300px;
}

Making something position: absolute removes it from the standard layout, so it is not bound by the width of any of its parent containers.
