Your first error was using Frontpage, which is notorious for generating
bad HTML code. It's so bad it caused a fatal error in the W3C validator:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremesportswear.org%2Fquotepage.htm
Don't blame the browser for weird displays of bad code. I'm surprised
mozilla displayed it reasonably well.
