Can't locate problem in HTML code IE ignores but Firefox is displaying.

[LRW]

http://gto.ie-studios.net/index.php

When you view the above site in IE, if the 1st of the three product
images is tall enough to push the cell down a couple of pixels, IE
somehow doesn't show that happening.

But if you look at it in Firefox you can see the small gap of white
where the semi-circle image is broken.

I've tried changing the background colors to gray in cells and tables
where I can, but no change.

I know the proper fix is to change the size of the image to be a few
pixels smaller, and I will, but in the meantime, why can't I find what
cell is being puched, and why doesn't my changing bgcolors fix the
break from being so obvious, and why does Firefox show the break but
IE is somehow ignoring it. That's the more annoying question.

Thanks!
Liam

No problem here with FF 1.0

Perhaps if you added a DOCTYPE and fixed all the validation errors...?

Yes, all of them.

If you're talking about the area with the words beginning "Latest
and Hottest Products", I see the problem with Mozilla 1.7.3. That
text is in a white area. Above the white area is a gray area. The
boundary between the areas is an arc. At the very top of the arc,
there is a rectangular notch of white intruding into the gray.
Also, there is a small white streak in the gray just to the right
and slightly above the alignment of the notch; the streak is
rectangular at the left and then tapers to a point at the right.

You have problems. The page does not comply with HTML
specifications. While Mozilla and Firefox are quite tolerant of
non-standard HTML, you can't expect a perfect display from an
imperfect Web page. Further, the page is too wide; having to
right-left scroll to read each line (as well as the usual vertical
scrolling) will drive customers away.

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See <http://www.mozilla.org/>.

Holy moly! You're kidding?! 76 errors on the one page? Even after using
Dreamweaver MX (so much for assuming it coded appropriately,) and what I
thought was pretty basic, standard, ordinary HTML when by hand.
That's...astoun ding.
How.
Looking through some of these...a lot are ALT tag required. Now, I know ALT
tags are nice for when people are using audible site readers or text
browsers like Lynx, but..."required "? Why are they required?
And, even for sites that have a LOT of individual images, especially when
they're just background, for appearance only images?

Oh yeah, sorry to post again but I just thought of something else...
Line 255, column 94: value of attribute "ALIGN" cannot be "ABSMIDDLE" ; must
be one of "TOP", "MIDDLE", "BOTTOM", "LEFT", "RIGHT"

Since when is "ABSMIDDLE" not allowed? It's an option in one of my HTML
books, one of my cheatsheets (a published one someone wrote, not one I
made,) and an option in Dreamweaver (which I guess is evidently
meaningless.)

Are ALL of these errors serious errors? I mean, will 90% of them really
cause any actual problems for anyone?

When you say "all of them," I guess you're refering to some kind of checker
I'm not aware of?
Someone else posted this link:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...doctype=Inline
which I'd not been aware of before.
I question in another reply the seriousness of some of these, like ALT tags
being "required" and ABSMIDDLE not allowed.
