Tables not working in IE6 but ok in Mozilla Firefox

I'm new to coding and have been given an assignment from a friend to
try and get me up to speed with tables, doctypes and xhtml. The problem
I am having is that my table works fine in Firefox browsers but break
in IE6. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

ps - I wrote the code in Notepad and have been reading HTML 3rd EDITION
THE COMPLETE REFERENCE to learn from during this process. I've been
validating the code at http://validator.w3.org/, and used Dave Raggetts
TIDY ONLINE to clean up my code (http://valet.htmlhelp.com/tidy/)

ps - the javascript rollovers are a "work in progress", ie another
problem I'm working through, it's mainly the table layout I'd like to
understand at this stage.

Do not use "<?xml ...". IE doesn't really know what to do with it.
Why are you using Transitional? That is meant only as an interim doctype
while converting legacy code. Use Strict.
You have a number of validation errors. Fix those.
