Can anyone help. The *quirk* in your page is the you have triggered IE's Quirks [1] mode. You have placed two comments ahead of the XHTML Doctype Declaration. Moving those bits below the Doctype in the head of your document will trigger IE's Standards Mode.[2] Any code or comments ( including an XHTML prologue) appearing before the XHTML Doctype will cause IE 6 to switch. This condition should be fixed in IE7. Getting IE 6 in Standards mode should make it render more like FireFox.
