OK, ok I know. I read all the stuff about tables and stupidly used them anyways. I designed my company's website... I have NEVER done webpage design before. ever. So, I took the easy way and used tables.
So, I have just uploaded the site as of Friday. In Internet Explorer, everything was great and dandy. But, someone checked in on Mozilla Firefox yesterday and all the layout is screwed up. Wording is too high, graphics are too low. I mean, I have EVERYTHING on separate layers. Like individual graphics. It's bad.
Anyone have any advice to get me out of this mess? I am supposed to have it fixed in a couple days...

Your site looks fine in my version of Firefox version 1.5.06
1.5.0.6 (again) fine here.

Yes the home page may look fine however you really should consider not having all your text locked inside images. Sure I can read it and ther surfers can read it, but how about the search engine spiders, they have no hope of reading it... Thus making your site rank lower than others.
I think over all the layout is far to dark for a company who's all about giving light.
For you guys who said it looked fine take a look at this page where on IE the bottom nav is hicked up a quarter way up the page. http://www.dpss-lasers.com/downloads.htm
As far as your issue... I wish you the best of luck sorting this mess out. It's nearly impossible to tell ya how to fix the site in a couple words here... Simply because you choose not to use the DW template system.
On the other hand thats an idea... It may just be better for you to create a template then copy and paste all your content pages into the new layout.
My reasoning is this: everypage is standalone right now, so if you fix the layout to to be flexable on the template it's going to make your job so much easier to fix vs. going though and fixing the list of items that need to be done.

:o Thank you to everyone for checking.
It probably looks better now... I changed some things around and cleaned up some of my html. I basically did most of the page using layers and (gasp) design view in Dreamweaver (it's amazing how much crap dreamweaver adds on to your code). So, I erased some of the layers (some graphics were in their own individual layer lol -it was pretty bad)
So, for my first web site, I guess it's not bad.
Hats off to everyone in this line of work. I got my MBA in a year, and that was nothing compared to this. I am fully impressed with people who understand this stuff.
