the site i am working on now, http://www.mangregation.com is giving me a hard time. I have spent hours trying to get it to look correct, but i cannot figure it out, i tried recoding a bunch of it, now it looks the same in both IE and FF, but it is messed up in both.
help would be greatly appreciated.

My code for index.php
Code:

Get rid of the tables for layout! Check out How to correctly develop a website
for some information about developing a site correctly. Only by using a decent developing method will you achieve decent results.
