Spacing issue in alternate browsers

Question

Our website is having an odd spacing/text issue which I can't
seem to figure out. When the pages load in IE everything loads
correctly, but if the site is viewed in an alternate browser (like
Mozilla) there are giant spaces between sections, and the font
sizes on some pages are changing. This all started after we applied
a new template to the site for our menus so I know it’s a
problem with the code. I have gone through the code on several of
the pages and the template, and I can't seem to find the cause. I'm
still pretty new to Dreamweaver and CSS so it might be an obvious
error.
The page in question is
http://www.fcwp.org (spacing issues)
and
http://fcwp.org/MOSQUITO%20INFORMATION/mosquito_information.htm
(text becomes very small). All the pages use the same template so
fixing one should fix all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm not seeing those symptoms here on FF2 Windows.
The first step to getting browsers to render (nearly) the
same way is
to tell them exactly how to interpret the code. Try adding
the DOCTYPE
via File->Convert->HMTL 4.01 Strict (or Transitional).
Next, provide valid HTML code. If you enter either of the
above URLs at
http://validator.w3.org you will
see many errors. Some will go away
after inserting the DOCTYPE.
> <TD height="95" colSpan=2 bgColor=#336633><IMG
height=89
That's one the errors listed in the validator that the
DOCTYPE won't
fix. Use quotes around the colors: "#336633"
