Help editing MySpace profile for band

I was asked by a local band to help them fix up their profile a bit. The profile/layout displayed near perfectly in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer, the content was all over the place.

I've spent a few days going over the code and I pretty much have everything all fixed, but there's still a couple spots I'm having trouble, and any help anybody could give would be fantastic.

The friend's comments section is not aligned properly in IE. I've tried calling it up every way I know how, and I can't seem to get it to budge. In firefox, I just had to edit the .friendsComments class and the whole block moved right to where I needed it to go. But in IE, it remained in the same spot. So I tried using and IE hack to fix it- html* .friendsComments - it wouldn't budge. The strange thing is, the header for that section isn't even showing up in IE like it does in firefox. I tried checking to see if the image was saved in CMYK rather than RGB, and the image was in fact RGB, so it's not an issue with the color profile (as I know IE doesn't like to display CMYK images).

I'm at a loss here. I can't figure out why IE won't locate the table for this. If anybody out there is able to help me, I'd appreciate it so much.

PS: I know IE is a miserable browser. I know MySpace is a miserable site. I've discussed this with the band. Please don't respond back with 'why are you still using myspace?' or 'screw ie, get ff' or anything of the like, as it's not helping me fix the issue at hand. if you don't have any useful comments, don't bother commenting at all.

Last time I did a MySpace I found that a huge accumulation of editing 'dust bunnies' was present from those before me.

I took all of the little cutsie add ons (widgets) out. Most of their coding is atrocious and many slow down page loading significantly. Can you say SlowSpace?

Then I went thru the remaining code and added back " " quotes around attribute values and any missing closing tags. For some reason MySpace on certain items needs both style="float:right;" AND align="right" in certain tags.
