Puzzled

Hey all - great forum you have here. I wish I was more of an expert to help others out more.

In any case, I have done a lot of coding to build my site http://www.blogeditor.net --- it is a redesign of my original site. Everything is working well, except of the layout in IE and Safari. In chrome and firefox, layout is perfect. However, the layout is consistenly off for ie/safari. I know I need to add some sort of padding/margin somewhere to make this fit properly. Where though?

Site validates perfectly.

Thanks guys!

A little more info: The

A little more info:

The source of the page that loads in IE starts with.....

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML Strict//EN">
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> 
<HTML lang="en-US" dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<BODY class="custom ie ie7"> 
<DIV id="container"><DIV id="page"><UL id="tabs"><LI class="page-item-1">

Therefore, I can tell that is grabbing my IE.css file, which contains:

BODY.ie {	FONT-SIZE: 125%}
.ie #container {	FONT-SIZE: 50%;	MARGIN-LEFT: 
.full_width {	FONT-SIZE: 50%;	MARGIN-LEFT: 50px}
.ie UL#tabs {	WIDTH: 100%}
.ie INPUT.form_submit {	OVERFLOW: visible;	WIDTH: auto}
.ie6 #content {	OVERFLOW: hidden}
.sidebar.ie6 {	OVERFLOW: hidden}
.ie6 DL#comment_list DD {	BORDER-BOTTOM: #bbb 1px dotted}
.ie6 DL#comment_list DL.children DD {	BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px}

However, IE does not seem to be using the proper #.ie container as the style used for <div id="container"> is not consistent with the IE style sheet. What might be wrong? I assume I can fix my op issue if I get this correct....

That is an incomplete

That is an incomplete doctype, please do the research on finding a strict HTML 4.01 doctype.
After implementing the standard doctype, validate your code with the W3C validator.
