Hi, I am making a site for my brother, it looks perfect in Firefox but in IE one image that is floated to the right is now showing up. The text wraps around it but there is an empty square where it should be, can anybody explain this strange phenomenon?

Please, you could warn a guy that the content of the page might be a little much for weak stomaches.
Anyway, sometime the answer is "because MSIE is a piece of dung".I agree MSIE is a piece of crap. I fixed the problem by specifying the width of the content. It removes the fluid layout but I was planning on doing that anyway. 98% of my brothers visitors have 1024x768 so it makes my job easier.
There is one known flaw in Opera, if you put your mouse over the navigator it flips back to a bulleted list. Your not telling me Opera is a piece of dung too?Opera has a problem (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.quirksmode.org/css/tests/opera_float.html">http://www.quirksmode.org/css/tests/opera_float.html</a><!-- m -->) with floated elements in an absolute container, define a width, or better still place the navigation in the flow.
No DTD
Use pt for print not for screen (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/css2em.htm">http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/css2em.htm</a><!-- m -->)
table used for layout (without a tr)

It's just another browser that doesn't follow the W3C guidelines.
Don't blame the browser for your lack of knowledge.Thanks Fang,
I do not use a doctype because all the ones I have tested do not allow me to vertically align with the table, a table is the only way I can do it right? All the other ways I have seen will cut the page off at the top on a small screen.
As for placing the navigation in the flow, I would do that if I knew how to get it positioned at the top while keeping it at the bottom of the HTML coding (best for search engine optimiziation).Try dead center (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre4.html">http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre4.html</a><!-- m -->) (they don't use a DTD, but it works with one
)
Why have the navigation at the end of the html, but at the top of the page?Try resizing the window, when it gets too small it will get negative margins. My site, on a small screen, using the same technique, will cause the navigation to disappear off the top.
Google considers the first text on the page to be the most important, so having links
there before my headers and main content will comprimise my page-rank.
