Should be fairly easy to fix for IE.

IE doesn't recognise parent>child associations so you can hide things from it in the CSS.

Here are a few things to try:

in #content add:
float: right;

Then beneath that, in a new definition, add:
html>body #content {
float: none;
}

This way IE will pick up the float:right but compliant browsers will get the float:none.

That's probably not your cure but it should give you a little extra knowledge to cure the problem. Maybe try re-sizing one of your columns - IE sometimes adds 3px to boxes and if your two columns add up to more than the size of your wrapper then the right column will be forced to appear beneath the left. So you could try different sizes in the main #content definition then use the html>body trick to give the right size to other browsers.

You could also try a negative top margin on the right column to pull it up e.g. margin-top: -400px; then once again clearing this for other browsers with html>body #content { margin-top: 0; }

Also you might like to look at using a UL to format your navigation.

The float: right; in the #content definition worked wonderfully . I also added that new definition to make it correct for all other legit browsers. Thank you so much for the support!
I just started reading about the UL forat for navagation bars and I will get into that new concept today.
I think I found my new favorite techsupport forum hehe.

Thank you for the comments . What navigation are you talking about? The one at the bottom or the menu to the left?

I'm having a bit of trouble with the UL Menu in IE (go figure lol). Every time you move your mouse over each link, it keeps on reloading the bg image. I think I recall some sort of code that you put in your <head> tag that preloads images...or something. Is that what I need to do?

no, it means you are trying to trick the validator hehe.

I think the best site you can make is one with the least amount of code possible and still validates. The less code, the faster load times are and the faster people can go about their day.

dereklapp: Ok I guess. I see your point.

meenstreek:
on the left-hand navigation, it's almost impossible to read the text when the mouse is moved over it. I'd suggest creating a custom <a> tag definition for that div with:
#menu.a:hover {
color: (something darker than it is now);
}

web standards enforce a stricter guideline, but cross-compatability comes down to structure design -> simple rectanlges will work cross patform easily, portal style designs with poll boxes all over the place won't.

the misconception, i was referring to anyways, is that following codign standards is enough, like using a div instead of a table cell, or an H1 instead of span. it helps, but it's not the key, they key is design.

EDIT: tyr adding img { vertical-align: bottom; } to your CSS.

Jono1: Thank you, I will heed your advice.

Right now I've got something REALLY funky going on. My profile page (http://www.codysplace.com/new/profile.html) is freaking out in Firefox....but it looks perfectly fine in IE (except for the small gap between the profile.cody image and the table set up). Anyone have a clue as to what the hell happend? I'm using the same damn layout as the index.html page....
