Yes. It made it render the same as you saw in Mozilla, but at least that's
only slightly wrong instead of all over the place!

Easiest way to do this would be:
<div class="albumcover"><img /></div>
<div class="albumdetails">blah</div>
<div class="albumtracks">blah</div>
<div class="albumplayers">blah</div>
.albumcover, .albumtracks {
float: left; clear: left;
width: 123px; /* or something */
}
.albumdeatils, .albumplayers {
margin-left: 123px;
}

According to CSS2 there is a 1.2 scale factor between each absolute
font size keyword, so 'large' would be 120%, yes. x-large would be 132%,
xx-large 145%, small 83%, x-small 69%, xx-small 58%.
These intervals are really a bit too broad for most purposes (CSS1 was
even worse, it used a 1.5 scale). Just use whatever % size looks right to
you. (As long as you don't take it too low, causing readability problems
for people with smaller than usual font settings.)

I presume you mean you're using 'target' instead now?
If you like, you could use an onclick event handler to produce the popup
without mucking up usability (and it validates as Strict).
