Brandon, You've got no doctype and 124 markup validation errors. It will be difficult to get any kind of decent cross-browser rendering without a doctype. Use the same doctype that LayoutGala uses: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> Back-up your source file. Run it through Tidy Online <http://infohound.net/tidy/>. Tidy will point out the errors and correct most of them for you. The remainder can be corrected manually. Revalidate the markup art the w3c Validation Service <http://validator.w3.org/>. This may not solve all your problems. But it is necessary to bring it to, or as close as you can get, to a valid state if you expect help in debugging what problems remain.
