Layer misalignment possible DOCTYPE statement problem?

Without seeing your code its hard to tell.
But I'm inclined, however, to say it might be a box model issue. As FF ands IE handle the box models differently. Take a look at this page to see what I mean:
Box Model Issue
Also it would be good to know what Doctype you are using, to see if it is a valid Doctype or not.
You might also want to go into w3.org and validate your html, as well as your CSS.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Hi, first of all thanks for the response. I actually created this site mostly in layers. I don't know if this is good or bad, but as a newbie it was the only way I could swing it. So, I would create a layer and then type in it using a CSS style. It sounds like the box model problem might be what I am experiencing.
Here's an example of what code dreamweaver created for it:
<div id="Layer9" style="position:absolute; width:159px; height:85px; z-index:68; left: 125px; top: 596px;">
<ul>
<li class="style6">eurospec</li>
<li class="style6">brand new, sim free </li>
<li class="style6">european warranty </li>
<li class="style6">200 pcs available</li>
<li class="style6">physical in Miami</li>
<li class="style6">ready to ship </li>
</ul>
</div>
I am also getting lots of error codes regarding the height.
Here is my DOCTYPE, which I got from a link on this site.
It's supposed to work for most browsers:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"<html xmlns=" xml:lang="en" lang="en"></html>
Thanks again for the help.
