HTML Matching in Firefox & IE?

I'm currently working on the code for a website, and everything is wonderful in Firefox. However, when I view the page in blasted IE the div columns do not line up properly with the header.



I also have smaller div layers within the two main columns (navigation div, and news div) that serve as text place holders, just as a design preference, and they are also screwed up in IE, running over the main divs.



I know IE is a baby when it comes to HTML, and so unlike Firefox you have to make sure every little thing (such as px after a #, instead of just the #) must be added in order for IE to read it properly.



If there's anything of that nature that could make a quick fix for my problem, I'm much obliged. But no matter the problem, I still need a solution.



Thanks.

Do you have a DocType at the top of the page? That usually fixes problems like that. You can read more about DocTypes here:

Welcome to the wonderful world of web development. The problem you are experiencing is due to Microsoft's inability to conform to the standards put forth by the World Wide Web Consortium. After all they are better than us right? Somehow, other browsers manage to do this without a problem. I suggest developing the two side by side until you get a better handle on the differences in the way the two browsers work.
