    i gotta ask you why you split the "shocking" image to several pieces

    to lists: use this in css:
    list-style-type: none;

    that will remove the list dots

    instead of making a site for IE or ffx
    make it for w3c and it will display fine in any and all browsers

    see your basic HTML errors

    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.goviphosting.com/
    and your CSS errors
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.goviphosting.com/

    make it easy on browsers by producing clean code to get clean results - as long as you prefer to produce errors by the dozen you always have to live with different error management by different browsers AND BOTS as well!

    Hiiii

    I did some changes in indentation and spacing but still the site look totally messed up on FFX.

    Also the table borders are visible on FFX which i have made them transparent/ invisible, pls check my site (http://www.goviphosting.com) on IE so you will get an idea, and i want my site to look the same way as it is on IE

    Im using Front page, can anyone help me out to fix this prob ..? :confused:

    as long as you protect your hundred plus errors as posted below - any attempts to work-around the errors is a waste of time and resources
    clean up your code and make your pages W3C compliant / valid code mess before making any more modifications or asking any additional advice

    we would have to create new browsers just for you if you want to live with all those fatal errors in your pages

    w3c is nothing special - it is basic web designer standards that all webmasters apply to fit into all browsers
    it simply means that you produce clean HTML code
    either HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 ...

    above all what kind of doc type you have depends on your HTML editor you use - apparently a useless one that creates wrong code.
    hence you may change your current editor to a professional editor - if you use Linux on your laptop - then it would be Quanta Plus
    if you use windows then you have a reason to so so and will know why and what to use.
    currently you use
    Microsoft FrontPage 5.0
    and that is about the worst on the entire planet you ever could chose!!

    same for CSS validation

    since you offer "linux web hosting"
    the obvious choice of your ENTIRE localhost system of course IS LINUX - how else could you learn to offer a Linux hosting and support without having any Linux experience at all ...

    while the validation error message suggests that your page might be XHTML
    it is far more likely something near HTML4.01 with the normal built in microsoft code errors for frontpage

    hence unless you use a totally different NEW page code
    to start line 1 of EACH page would be a line like:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

    UPPER / Lowercase sensitive !!!

    every W3C validation page has help links or tutorials to read and learn for all usual errors
    just look at all links given and read all help
    like
    http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html

    since you apparently lack most basic HTML knowledge you may also start at the very beginning by using any of the online HTML / CSS tutorials such as
    selfhtml tutorial
    or
    http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
    w3schools do offer buggy tutorial code at times - but they get you close to clean code and the remainder you learn by validating and solving all remaining errors
