Dreamweaver CS3 Help - Please advise?

I am having some major issues with Dreamweaver CS3. First of all, I applied some CSS style rules to pictures and tables with text.



The pictures are laid out correctly, but the table boxes do not display any text and they position themselves wherever they want when I preview it in IExplore.



Secondly, I%26#039;m having trouble uploading to my site. I bought a domain and some space on a hosting server from godaddy.com. I can%26#039;t %26quot;put%26quot; the information on my site, though. What can I do?



Please don%26#039;t tell me to get a Mac or use Mozilla. I%26#039;d like some practical, real-time advice with the system I%26#039;m currently using (Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6.0)

As far as %26quot;putting%26quot; the information on your site, that is done through an FTP. The FTP allows you take files from your computer and place them on the server that you purchased space on. After you login to godaddy, click on my account and then find the FTP page. Two screens appear. The left is your computer, the right is the godaddy server. Browse through your computer on the left side and click any files you used to create the web pages over to the server. That%26#039;s it. Remember, your homepage should be called index.html (or whatever extension you%26#039;re using) so that browsers know it%26#039;s the homepage when they%26#039;re crawling the server with your files.



As for css, I can%26#039;t really answer that because it%26#039;s unclear to me. I would need more details or to look at the page. Is it online anywhere? You should download Mozilla Firefox, seriously, so you can test your site in multiple browsers. Some pages will look completely different in different browsers.
