I'm having a somewhat horrible problem.
The following page appears as desired. I've tested it on many different browsers and the only one with a slight variation is Internet Explorer.

I went to validate it and ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.
Seriously. It said the doctype was wrong, even after attempting to fix it. Using Dreamweaver to convert it to another type breaks some elements of the design, specifically the tooltips. It won't validate properly because of the doctype problem, so I'm not even sure if the problems pointed out in the entire document are what they said they are seeing as they added some standard doctype just so it would validate as SOMETHING. Ugh...

I don't know...
I need some help if it can be given. What have I done wrong and how can I save what I've done?
PLEASE HELP. I'm so desperate I could cry.
