there's some pretty old mark up in there:
topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
bgcolor="#000000"

go with something that will at least validate that, haven't gone to
the validator to check, one of these should work if all your elements
are properly nested/closed iirc:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">

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

hth!

cheers,
