formatting options?

Yes, like most everyone else here I am also building a site. ;) I am used to formatting with tables just because that's what I learned. However, I'm realizing that my formatting methods are not appreciated in FF like they are in IE. (My solution to something slightly off is to insert a "margin-left: -2px;" or something like that and I'm beginning to think that's not such a good idea...)

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as methods of formatting your page. I know it is done, but obviously I'm not getting it.

the page I'm working on can be viewed at http://www.healthy-connections.org/index2.php

Thanks!

The problem is that your DOCTYPE is wrong it should be

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

because it is wrong IE is working in quirks mode and interpreting your CSS values differently to everyone else.

Fix this first.

Then go to

http://validator.w3.org/

and validate you html and correct any errors.

Then you may be able to get you page working correctly in IE and Firefox and everyone else.
