Well if this is your first website and you're trying to go the CSS route then you should go read up on CSS layout and CSS box model. Understand how to use block elements to do your layout and stay away from tables for layout.

The other thing I'd recommend is you use FireFox for all primary development and make your site work and look how you want it to in FF. Then fire up IE and fix any problems that quirky IE has. You will end up with a much cleaner site and much cleaner CSS if you do it this way.
