The CSS that "The Doctor" is using from the Dreamweaver stock "Page Design (CSS)" categories. He/She is using the "Three-Column Left Nav". I'm familiar with it as I'm working on a site right now using this as its basic structure.
The HTML he includes is a table design and it almost appears "The Doctor" is hoping to stick this CSS in the page and keep the table but use the various IDs/Classes of the CSS in the content that appears IN the table. The HTML associated with the stock CSS is structured for a non-table layout: <div id's which include the 'masthead', the 'navBar', 'headlines', 'content', 'stories', and 'siteInfo' (etc.) And my strong guess is even if he has used those in his PHP, he's encountering problems with the way IE and Firefox handles table display. And his table isn't needed IF he follows the HTML example associated with this CSS as provided by Dreamweaver. We'd have to be able to see the resulting HTML from the PHP before being able to help further. MHO, of course. You can see this same Dreamweaver 'suggestion' in production -- without a table -- on http://www.eglin.af.mil/HAWC/. I've eliminated some of the IDs not useful to the site and renamed others (for example, siteInfo became 'footer'). Perhaps it will help "The Doctor" to study one in 'active production'.
