Moving a table over a background CSS

I have tried to position #box1 under #table1 I try to move it however it doesn't move. What am I doing wrong. I am new to css.

Edit: I put in my html 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
         <html lang="en">
         <head>
    <title>Assignment 1</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <style>

    html{
        background: #afc2df;
        }
    #box1{

        position fixed;
        border: 120px;
        border-style: groove;
        border-radius:35px;
        width: 505px;
        length: 75px;
        margin-left: 85px;
        z-index: 5;

        }
        this is the table I want to move 

    #table1{

        position fixed;
        background: #00FFFF;
        margin-left: 118px;
        top: 160px;
        z-index: 6;
           }

    </style>
    </head>


    <body>

    <b></b><h1><b><i><font face="impact" color="red">Name</font> </i></b></h1>

    <b></b><h2><b><i><font face="impact" color="red">Number</font> </i></b></h2>

    <table border="3" id="table1">
            <tbody><tr>
                <th colspan="2">WEB PAGE ELEMENTS</th>


            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Html</th>
                <td><font face="Candara" color="black">Marks beginning and ending of a web page (closing tags needed)</font></td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Head</th>
                <td><font face="Candara" color="black">Used to enclose elements not apart of the main page (closing tags needed)</font></td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Title</th>
                <td><font face="Candara" color="black">Included in the &lt;head&gt; section, appears in the title bar of the browser (closing tags needed)</font></td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Body</th>
                <td><font face="Candara" color="black">Includes content that is visible in the browser (closing tag needed)</font></td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Meta</th>
                <td><font face="Candara" color="black">Allows passage of information about the page to user agents(self-closing tag)</font></td>

            </tr>
        </tbody></table>





    <div id="box1"></div>






</div>
</body>
</html>

This is the CSS along with my html.

I really want to get good at this and the assistance is appreciated.

I've made some modifications to clean up your code. Forewarning: you will need to dumb this down, do not directly give this assignment to your instructor as-is unless they are clueless about anything but the visual output (and if they are leave that college immediately and become self-taught!). Do not rely heavily on the CSS level 2 position property, if they haven't taught you about the CSS level 1 float then you're going to suffer a potentially permanent inability to code CSS competently.

If you want to learn how to use CSS correctly start with the basics...

That being said, this does what you wanted, the page content scrolls while the gigantic bordered division element doesn't.
