Looks good in Firefox, but terrible in IE

I created this using notepad and was checking it in Firefox, but when i finished and checked it in IE it looks like crap. I even opened up Dreamweaver and it shows it looking great. I can't find what is causing it. I have double, triple checked to make sure that all my ", <, >, tr, td, etc. are opened and closed properly. Please can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Here is my code:

could I have a Link to the website that this is on if it is on a website?

PS: Why not take that <style> part and put it in a CSS file and have the page a lot shorter?

Update: Hope you dont mind uploaded it to my site to test it out and it looks nice, looks the same in IE as FF, infact it looks worse in FF then IE. What version of IE are you using?
Jul 27 '07 #2
The reason why I dont have a CSS file is because this is supposed to be able to be used as a HTML email. That is good to hear that it was looking fine in IE. The IE version I am using is IE7, and my firefox is version 2
