You seem to be making the typical newbie error, like asking "Why won't
my house stand? I've shingled the roof" yet you have not wall or
foundation. You can not get a block element of 800x600 pixels
(disregarding the folly of a fixed design) to display reliably if the
elements used to define it are invalid! All browsers have display bug,
some more than others but if you throw garbage markup at it it is a
crap-shoot whether or not it will display properly and that is what I
have been trying to address. Or you can keep betting on those 1000
monkeys turning out Shakespeare before the end of time.
