I don't know what OTL is and I did not try to find out.
Most of us Opera fanatics use Opera9.0b2. I think the latest stable is
8.54. Move on up.

A proper doctype, structured layout, and clean markup is a place to
start :-P . I think you can just forget tables altogether. Since I am
more visually, than verbally or technically oriented, I roughed up a
layout-- rather than trying to explain what I thought you might want to
do. It represents a starting point, not a solution. The xml declation
above the doctype puts IE in quirksmode (I don't exactly know what that
means, other than it's easier to cope with the 'evil one' that way).
With planning and care you will will not need any hacks to work
cross-browser-- at least not so far, anyway. Please see:

/Cursory/ tested with font-zoom in XP: ff, moz, opera, and ie/6.0.
HTH.
