Firefox vs IE issue

    I have an issue with my site that is giving me fits. First off I am not a coder - but know just enough html to get me in trouble :) I switched my browser to Firefox about a while back, changed some stuff on my home page and found out yesterday that my home page had overlapping text in IE. Looked great in FF but fubared in IE. I have 2 tables -- one small one (160 for adsense) on the left and a larger (400 for introductory text) on the right.

    The problem is in IE the text below the tables was pulled up and overlapping/intruding on the left of the main text (which was in the larger table on the right). I removed the table on the right and it looked ok in IE but in FF the intro text dropped to below the left table leaving a blank right column. The only way I could find to prevent the overlap was to add a helluvalot of breaks and paragraphs below the table.

    It now looks OK in IE but in FF there is a large blank area below the 2 tables until the rest of the page text resumes. The page in question is the Home Theater advice site in my sig - BTW.

    Another thing I noticed is that in FF the headline text of ALL my pages is smaller than in IE. For some reason IE makes the headlines a LOT larger than FF does...???

    So my question is how can I make the page look the same in IE and FF?

    <EDIT> I found the issue - it was how I had the tables constructed. I was building two tables with data instead of just doing one and using proper parameters to make them appear correctly. Learned a bit more about coding though :D </edit>
