What is a good way to set up a template that works with both browers? Thanks.

Because Mozilla follows the rules and IE does not. Generally the rule is to write for Mozilla and adjust for IE acting weird.

Most profesionally built websites have some kind of script installed to detect browser versions. This is because Mozilla and IE run some kinds of html differently. If you are using a menu system running on Java or CSS your site may look weird because you havent used some of the required code.
Take a look at this:

It would also be helpful to know what site is having the problem so I can view it.

Depends on if your using CSS, IE has dodgey css support, so what will work in firefox will not necessary work properly in IE. You'll have to use what's known as IE CSS hacks.
But if you stick to just using tables for layout than it should work / look the same in both.

there is the right way to write a browser ('zilla & safari & others) and the wrong way (IE).
Write for 'zilla and then see how it looks in IE (it will probably be fine)!

no 2 browsers handle the html code the same that would be stealing if it did
