The Philosopher's Stone of web markup is believed by many to be http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/#validators in particular http://validator.w3.org/ which shows 51 errors on http://btlonline.org/2010/101126-btl-gst.html from "trivial" mis-matched open/close tags through to use of elements disallowed by the DOCTYPE declaration. This was found by use of the "Valid XHTML" tick button at the foot of the page :-( Modern browsers use a lot of their rendering engine strength trying to correct bad markup because the vendors accept that otherwise the web would collapse. There's no point here in trying to bash those HTML "generators" that spit out garbage, nor those browsers that cannot render W3C compliant code I believe Amaya does its best to follow the W3C markup rules. Your page source looks to me to be fairly clean, and nicely laid out. I suggest you use the error report from the Validator to correct the code, then Amaya should have a better chance to correctly render it. As for IE rendering it, that's a whole 'nuther problem...
