Compared to firefox IE has crappy CSS support, in general you should design for the browser with best web standards support first then fix errors in other browsers. In this case thats FF.
You may want to try v. You'll find it points out many errors.
I was going to suggest but you don't have a . A doctype is required to inform the browser which version of HTML (XHTML) you are using, without it the browsers can only guess, resulting in cross browser problems.
Sorry I couldn't fix the problem but validation and a doctype may help get you on the right path.

No problem 
I wouldn't recommend that one because XHTML 1.0 Strict is at the top end of xhtml coding and is very picky about the way its used. The code in your site is xhtml so I'd recommend...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Transitional is a bridge between the older html and the new xhtml, and its a lot easier to use than strict.
You may want to read to get a better idea of the differences. Also try searching google for and you'll find many other articles explaining the differences.
Once you've put that doctype in to the page you should be able to validate the page using the helping you to find problems much easier.
Oh and before I go you should check out which has examples of common IE css bugs and explains how to solve them.
Hope that helps.

Ryan,
I implemented the DOCTYPE and also ran both of the Validation Utilities from W3C (it is still finding a few issues that I don't know how to fix: onMouseover / onMouseOut).
The good news is that everything is now looking pretty standard in both FF and IE!!
The bad news, is that now my far right border (image displayed as background) is not displaying. (See: )
Any ideas on how to get around this (to get it to display)?? Thanks in advance for any direction you may be able to give me.
Best Regards,
MIKE
