Not Showing RIght in IE
Hi, I just started building my first website ever, yesterday. For now it looks pretty sloppy but o'well. It looks right in Safari, Opera, and Firefox. But in IE the table background and body background colors dont show. The webpage is xemux.com and also the game pages like xemux.com/helicoptergame.html
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

For the body colour you need to declare it, either in your tag or in the tag
or
body {color:black; background-color:white;}
The images on the first page should be smaller thumbnails, not the big images resized with width and height tags (takes forever to load on dialup because of this), a good freeware image program is irfanview.com
The tables backgrounds show on IE and firefox - #333399 (dark blue)
A couple of the lower table cells are calling style4 but there is no style4

I don't see a big gap in IE (at 800x600) but looking at your code you've used height="600" in your table, ideally you shouldn't use such big heights but if you must add valign="top" in your td cells

Its just not IE; your site is not diaplaying right in Firefox, or Opera either.
You have used inside of you can't do that. You can use inside of a table body but not in columns. have to have some relative positioning, or they will just float around all over your page. Tables are a structured element, but are virtual layers.
You are also not closing some of your tags, you have to do this in XHTML like
. 
Well before I get called on this, you can use inside a , but just not the way you have. It has to have relative positioning.

Several things were overlapping, but it seems ok now. I must have had an old page cashed? unless you have just changed something.
