IE problems
Take a look at this code. In IE the page doesn't go the full width of the screen. In FireFox it works fine. What's wrong? Here is the link to the page http://66.150.28.133/aboutus.php
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111">

<td width="100%" background="images/top.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="14" height="100%" background="images/left.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
<td width="100%" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

Windows XP sp2
IE 6.0 sp2

Yeah, I was just messing around with css a second ago to see if that fixed it. Now try it.

what version of IE you having the problem with?
and do you have any margin, padding or width values in your "regulartext" class?
For the record you don't need to repeat the width of the tables td cells, just set the width in the first set and they will follow that.
Should also be using CSS for your background="images/top.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" to

Won't we need the css to test this properly? Layout/formatting is the whole reason for css' existence after all!

Hmm....something is wrong. You have this as the beginning of your page:
<div id="header"><html>
<head>
<link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
And then later you have multiple html and body tags that are not needed. I have edited your code and removed these "fatal" errors. I'd start using the html validator. It will usually find all your coding mistakes for you
Here's the new code. Maybe you will get some better results:
<html>
<head>
<link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<title>About Air-Lock Logs</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

One more thing. I'd add this to your css file:
body { margin:0; }
It will cause all margins to dissapear around the page.
Looks ok in IE and FF to me now.
Good luck
