If you want to set all margins to 0 for testing purposes you can
just put * {margin: 0;} at top of your css. Ditto padding.

As for how floats behave in different browsers, IE6 is known to
add pixels and you will need to study how this browser and othe
IE browsers leave the standards: Not bad to start with may be:

One thing you should do is recheck your code. You leave out a
semicolon where you should not (it is usually important not to do
this):
#mainpageset
{
...
margin:0px
height:595px;
}
And don't use font tags, use the css sheet to control fonts.
And, while I am at it, forget the doc type you are using, use
4.01 Strict, you gain nothing at all from it.
