Displaying Problems in IE and FF

I have problems with an APDIV and my footer on this website:
http://www.tangifter.co.uk/bartek
On different resolutions and on zooming in or out, the ApDiv seems to slide about and the footer slides up or down. They have slightly different effects in all browsers.
I am a beginner, so please help me out on this one.
Here is the css: Were are looking at #apDiv1
<!--
body {
background-image:url(Images/bg.png);
background-repeat:repeat;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
-->
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend,
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: text-top;
}
.content
{ background-color:#FB9A14;
width: 975px;
height: 900px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}
.banner
{
width: 975px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
}
.menu
{
width:206px;
height:400px;
margin-left:0px;
}
.footer
{
width:975px;
height  ;
position:relative;
left  ;
top:-285px;
}
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
width:670px;
height:395px;
z-index:1;
left: 400px;
top: 302px;
float:none;
}
.style1 {
font-size: xx-large;
font-weight: bold;
}
PLEASE HELP!!! I am running out of time on this project!

absolute positioning! just don't use it unless you really have to, and you really understand what it does.
get rid of the absolute positioning and start learning to use the document flow.

2nd bit of advice is do NOT use spaces in filenames, it will cause you problems at some point.

Absolute positioning causes the object it is applied to to float outside the container, and retain the same position whether the browser window is resized or not. So the reason you're encountering this problem is because of that. So, in short, replace your style with this:
Code:
<!--
body {
background-image:url(http://www.tangifter.co.uk/bartek/Images/bg.png);
background-repeat:repeat;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
-->
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend,
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: text-top;
}
.content
{ background-color:#FB9A14;
width: 975px;
height: 900px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}
.banner
{
width: 975px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
}
.menu
{
float: left;
width:206px;
height:400px;
margin-left:0px;
}
#apDiv1 {
float: right;
width:670px;
height:395px;
padding-right: 90px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
.style1 {
font-size: xx-large;
font-weight: bold;
}
Oh, and make you buttons CSS rollovers instead of JavaScript. It will be smoother, and compatible with more browsers.
And like Chris said, don't use spaces in your file names or directories. It'll save you a ton of work.

Your footer is just an image and it's stuck inside the menu div, which isn't the right place for it. Put it in as a background to a div that follows #content, get rid of the absolute positioning, you don't need it, and the normal document flow should put the footer at the bottom where you want it.
