I have had a quick look at the HTML and at least some of your problems are because there is some code in there to only include some tags if the browser is IE7. Your HTML reads:

<li><a href="http://www.thepixelhouse.com/ferdi/contact.html"><b>Contact/Order</b><!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--></li>

I change a couple of instances of this to remove the [if IE7] so that it looks like this:

<li><a href="http://www.thepixelhouse.com/ferdi/contact.html"><b>Contact/Order</b></a></li>

And things started to fall into shape....

I only tested with IE6 not FF or IE7 but it should put you on the right path...

HTH,
JC

It's still important to support IE6, even if he upgrades to IE7 other people using the site may still be on 6.

You'd be surprised at the amount of people who are still on six. Typically it tends to be people using their work machines where the I.T. management has made the conscious decision not to move to 7....
