please see http://dreamtech.awardspace.co.uk/ in IE 7 or firefox 3.0.6 - it displays fine. but in IE6, the 2 columns on the page display one below the other. i assume its something to do with the css. can you help me?
the css files are http://dreamtech.awardspace.co.uk/style.css and http://dreamtech.awardspace.co.uk/layout.css

also the page had a line

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

right at the top which i had to remove because it showed the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/www/dreamtech.awardspace.co.uk/index.html on line 1

when i hosted it on awardspace. does this have any impact on my problem. if i remove this line, do i have to add some other line to my code to make it proper.
thanks for your time and efforts.
