Preview in Firefox vs Internet Explorer

Tables... Tables are a firefoxian nightmare unless you define the spacing
exactly to the pixel in the coding.
 
In my experience, that's the wrong way to go about it.

Pages that look good in IE and terrible in FF (or any modern browser)
typically have used IE proprietary (read: invalid HTML) methods, and/or
invalid HTML period. This page is not an exception to that.

Check the errors found here....

One of the problems is that you have assigned a height to this div -

<div align="center" style="width: 760px; height: 410px">

FF (rightly) refuses to expand that div even when the contents require it,
and so they spill out over top of the footer.

Remove that height specification, and FF will look better. Also, know that
bordercolor is not valid HTML - if you want border colors, you need to use
CSS.

Take a look here in FF where I have cleaned a few of these things up (and
added a proper doctype) -

redemption2,

I disagree with your statement. I use tables on all of my web sites. Firefox
has no trouble with them. I specify the table width as 100 percent. Cells
within as percentages. No problem.
