Terri, I can't even fix my own stuff. But, there are people on this list
who can fix anything. I hope one will come along and help out. In the
meantime, I can, if nothing else, offer some simple advice from my
personal experience.
Start with a layout that is known to work cross-browser, and plug your
content into it. Avoid absolute positioning, and setting heights on any
container. Going off into strange and weird tangents that are known to
be problematic is always just that. Code to Opera, FF, and Safari. Check
in on Win/IE from time to time. When you view your work, do so at 800,
1024, and 1280. Set the fonts using percent so they'll scale in IE. A
decent layout, and its contents will hold, without breaking or
overlapping, at 200% zoom with the content p at default(100%).
Simple things that work are far better than complex concepts that fail.
These are some layouts you might consider. There are zillions more.
