In IE this layout I made looks fine. But in mozilla the content box is way off to the right. If I change the positioning won't it change they way it looks in IE?

1) Start with valid mark-up. See http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mattdudley.d2g.com%2FcompanyWEBSITE%2F for a few errors. One of them might be the problem.

2) HTML 4.0 was superseded by HTML 4.01 back in 1999.

3) The transitional DTD is for whimps, and I don't see anything there - outside of the errors - that isn't 4.01 Strict.

4) Use the full DOCTYPE already:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I like the look of the page, I must say. Though, that might be the oxycontin they've got me taking.

Having a broken wrist I'm typing with one hand, so I want to be brief.

The DTD specifies which version of HTML you are using. You are, and should be, using HTML 4.01 Strict.

In HTML, it's the double dash that makes the comment. If you have a line of dashes then you are toggling on and off the comment. If you want a line, use "=======".
