    Angry Help! Layout Not working with Internet Explorer!

    First post, please be gentle!

    I'm a student web designer and I recently designed a website for a religious studies teacher using CSS and tables. The layout works just fine in most browsers on a mac, but when viewed in Internet Explorer on a PC it appears to be a little funky. I'm not sure how to fix the issue and was wondering if anyone would be willing to look at my coding and see if I'm doing something wrong.

    The web page can be viewed at
    http://www.dancingisforbidden.net/bautch/index.html

    and the style sheet (in case it's a CSS problem) can be viewed at http://www.dancingisforbidden.net/bautch/style.css

    I'd greatly appreciate the help!

    Just checking it in Firefox there, it does bring up 44 HTML Errors, and a lot of them are to do with the fact you are using tables.
    Tables are not supposed to be used for design layout, they are for displaying tabular data; you should be using divs and other block-level elements to create the page. This might help prevent disruption in the layout in other browsers.

    But IE6 is a pest, and I personally find it easier creating a seperate stylesheet to style the layout to suite IE6's layout problems.
