OK, so I have started fresh, and this time started testing in FireFox
first (the page validates). Everything going well, except that in
Firefox there is a space between the top banner and banner underneath,
thus breaking up the wording "the right way".
I also can't seem to figure out what the whitespace space is that
covers the two columns just under the "Domain Extension Lists".
Not to bad, just two problems in Firefox.
But now when I look at it in Mozilla or Internet Explorer everything
is a mess, I am at a loss here, is it even possible to achieve the
same result for all 3 browsers? I am guessing its not, so that puts me
in a position where I need to choose between the browsers, and I will
need to go for IE, or I go back to a table layout, which I am sure
will work in all browsers but will make me look like a fool in the Web
Standards community, again, I have to choose for number one as I am in
business to make money, and my clients pay me not the Web Standards
community.
UNLESS someone very wise is able to help me out I am tossing up
between just IE or Table layout HELP!

Don't give up just yet. It is very possible to get identical results in
all major browsers, even without all the hacks some people love employing.
You're pretty close right now. There's a couple minor issues, but they
mostly come from you laying out your background images the way you would
with tables as a habit. I remember the same frustrations not too long
ago. As you said, your client and the payment you'll receive is number
one, especially if you need the money. I'm sure I'll be flamed for that
statement, but reality is reality.
If you go through my portfolio, you'll find stuff that uses tables and
some that don't, it all depends on the situation. In real world
business, things can't always be perfect. We strive for perfection. I
ALWAYS try to use pure CSS, for my layouts, and as I grow as a
developer, I get better and better at it, even when making my mockups in
photoshop, I already am planning how the layout will be coded up.
You'll get to that point too as long as you always TRY to get it
perfect. Only trial and error will teach you about the browser bugs and
how to resolve them. Now get that site done and get paid!
