 I haven't even looked at your page, but dollars to doughnuts FF is
 right, IE is wrong, and the code isn't valid.

 Enlighten us first - tell us the URL. Fragments don't cut it because
 for any non-trivial error, we need to see what the server is saying
 too.

 Don't use an XML prolog on web content
 
 Don't use a Windows codepage on web content

 Don't use XHTML unless you know what you're doing and why.
 
 Don't use XHTML 1.1
 
 Don't even think about writing XHTML without validating it.

 If you insist on using XHTML, do it right.

 This is probably a typo for "#top" when what you've actually coded as a
 selector is "#container #top"    However it shouldn't actually hurt in
 this case, and may even be intended.

 Don't quote property values in CSS, I haven't tested this, but I
 imagine Firefox is correctly rejecting this incorrect code, whilst IE
 is attempting to auto-fix it up.  I suspect this is the problem that's
 actually causing trouble.
 
 For all the rest, search the ng archives.
