According to the W3C validator, you've got 7 errors and 1 warning. The warning (which is the UTF-8 bit) is ok to ignore for now, but you should focus on the errors.

I hope you used this to validate: http://validator.w3.org/

The w3 validator validated the HTML, but the page still looks awful in IE. Is there anything else I can do?

Edit
It validates only when I directly put the code into the validator, but if I type "http://www.team3167.webs.com/index.htm" into the "validate by URL tab" I get a fatal error about line 80 containing something that is not utf-8.

I don't know much about coding but I think you should close the <head>? I only saw a starting tag but not an ending one.

There's a </head> I just checked.

It's the copyright symbol near the bottom. Try using the entity "©" instead of the symbol.

(If you have a text editor that shows line numbers (I use Notepad++), that sometimes helps interpret the validator feedback. For this page, the validator said the bad character was on line 80, but I think that was a couple lines off.)

Edit: Also, I think the IE problems are related to the use of positioning in the stylesheet. One way to debug this is to go back to a blank stylesheet (both mystyle.css and the CSS in the head section) and add items back to the stylesheet one at a time, in order to see the individual effects of each change.

The strange thing is that when the images are not aligned right, they stay above the nav bar, once align right is put in, it throw the images to the middle of the bar.
