First, remove the XML prologue**  from the head of your document, it's 
causing IE 6 to switch to quirks mode [1].

You should run this page paste the either the W3C [2] or WDG [3] validators. 
You have tags that are open and not closed, tags that are closed but not 
open and ID selectors used more than once.  You should change the p1's, p2's 
etc to classes if you need to use them more than once on this page. [4]

If you search of the CSS-D wiki [5] for  * positioning *, you'll find lots 
of useful information.
