Does the AOL browser break things?

Any browser /should/ have trouble viewing that page in any styled
form; In the source there are STYLE elements everywhere except the
one place they are legal (inside HEAD).  Also several elements have
attribute values quoted with ¨ (???) instead of ' or ".

I recommend a light markup overhaul before worrying too much about
CSS.
1) Combine the contents of all your STYLE elements in one STYLE
element in the HEAD.  Remove all the other STYLE elements.
2) Place the following DOCTYPE declaration at the very top (above
HTML): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
3) Replace <meta http-equiv=¨content-type¨ content=¨text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1¨>
with <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

at this point you should be able to run the page through the validator
to find the remaining problems: http://snurl.com/2i8s

This may or may not help an old IE version (what your user's AOL
probably uses), but the page will at least be valid HTML.

HTH,
Steve
