Column Problems Between Explorer and Firefox

Question

First, I apologize if this is something that has been posted.
The search function doesn't seem to be working, so I've been unable
to check for previous posts on-point.
I am having trouble with the columns in a table layout on a
site I am designing. It's located at
www.staggsmarketing.com/fleishell.html. The columns render properly
in firefox, but not at all so in Explorer. If you view the Explorer
version, the problem is quite obvious, so I won't explain further.
If anyone can take a look at the site and suggest what I've
done wrong, I would appreciate it. It was designed in CS3, and I've
run all the standard dreamweaver tests (from the results tab) to no
avail.
Thanks in advance!

Walt's suggestion was right on target. Using DW with no
knowledge of HTML
will always produce sub-optimal results.

You are in blind alleys you do not yet know about. This
philosophy is
short-changing you AND your paying customers.

And your output will always reflect this.

I don't. It will be a continual frustration for them,
especially if they
want to rise above the 'hobby' level.
