The obvious first thing to fix is the Doctype. HTML 4.01 Transitional
with no URL triggers Quirks Mode, which introduces all sorts of
inconsistencies between browsers, especially when it comes to CSS and
error recovery.

Transitional is for legacy documents anyway, switch to:

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

The second thing to deal with is the syntax errors:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hcam.net%2Fposts.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Once you've dealt with the machine detectable errors, then start
worrying about browsers rendering things other than as you expect.
