First of all, move your stylesheet into the head:

</head><LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"><body bgcolor="#000066" link="blue" vlink="blue">

Valid or not, that's just wrong. You are also missing a closing </form> tag for the main form. Other then that, it makes it a little difficult to troubleshoot with all the validation errors. There are quite a few errors for missing closing tags and tags in the wrong place that are probably contributing to the problem.

Validate your page, like justsomeguy said, those errors are probably contributing to your problem. Use <p> tags for your sentences. Instead of using <br> tags to bring down single-text lines to the next line, use <div>; take out all the <br> tags. Here's a little something to get you started:

<fieldset style="padding: 10px; border: #000066 solid 3px;">  <legend><b>1: Personal Information</b></legend>  <div>Name / Nickname:    <input type="text" name="yourname" id="yourname" /></div>  <div>Your Email Address: <input type="text" name="youraddress" id="youraddress" /></div></fieldset>

might want to add a Document Type Declaration which keeps IE out of Quirks mode, too... just a thought. :)try this one:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
