How can I get my webpage (www.mpracingclub.netfast.org) to look the same in both IE7 and Firefox 2? I want my page to look like the IE7 version. In the Firefox version, the text in the left-side table is not right, and the borders on both tables are missing. Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is no silver bullet or magic solution to make pages work in multiple browsers. It really just requires hard work and testing. You need to get into the code and tweak it, retest in every browser, rinse and repeat. Using XHTML strict and CSS will help ease the cross-browser compatibility, but it takes more practice and skill to work with those specifications since they are not as forgiving as HTML.
Use a website like http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/table.html (there are many) to ensure you are using CSS properties that are fully supported on your target platforms.
Edit: one problem is that you don't have semicolons after some of your property values in CSS. That is messing up subsequent definitions. You need to make sure there is a semicolon after every property value.

Your problem is you are using dreamweaver before you understand the CSS part.. Anyone who uses CSS should know not to use font tags (for example).. Dreamweaver inserts much unneccessary code into your code which can override your CSS and just simply cause problems.
My suggestion, get rid of Dreamweaver (or frontpage, whatever you are using, etc.) and design your code using nothing but HomeSite+ or even notepad.. Your site isn't at all complex, so it shouldn't be too hard. It appears you attempted to atleast partially use CSS, so fix that and do the entire site with CSS instead of Dreamweaver, etc.

Install the Internet Explorer add on for firefox!
Heres the link. Once you install the add on, navigate the page you want to look the same, then click on tools, and click on IE tab options, then click add and it should move the link for your website into the list, then click apply, and ok. This is how you can add that website to be rendered just like it would on internet explorer! Once you have added the site to the IE list, restart the browser, or just reload the page......

It's not easy unfortunately. IM playing with a saved version of your site now and it will NOT play ball! I used to think I was a web developer...now Im not sure. If I get anywhere I'll throw you an email :-)
