1: as David has mentioned; I don't think you can get a well-working
design through all the Geocities garbage.

2: IE/win get the available width/window width messed up because the
Geocities garbage is stealing space. Same in Firefox, while my Opera is
killing the garbage before rendering anything, thus makes 100% width
available to the page.

3: IE/win (which is in quirks mode because of all the garbage) has a
rounding-problem.
75% + 25% = 100% + 1px = too wide.
IE makes the last float jump back into place on some widths on very wide
windows (above 1400) just to prove the point and show its confusion.
Solution: make at least one width-value slightly narrower so the sum is
less than 100%.

4: paddings is added to width, so any padding has to be subtracted from
the width you set, as the sum of width and padding is the actual width
you'll get in a standard-compliant browser.
Of course, this is not the case in IE/win in quirks mode, so the set
width is the actual width in that browser. In short: box-model problems.

5: Centering in IE/win must be done by adding the usual 'text-align:
center;' to the outer element and 'text-align: left;' to the then
centered inner element. That's the quirk mode variant for IE/win.

6: I didn't find a body start-tag, but there's a body end-tag. Looked a
bit incomplete to me even when I count optional elements in HTML4.

Some problems you've got there. Should be possible to fix locally, but
you need a better online host before making anything really stable for
the web out of it.
