I’ve never tried to develop something complicated such as this, and due to my inexperience I ran into the following:

In quirks mode (Gecko/Webkit), when no DTD is declared, the webpage is rendered fine.

When I do add a doctype (4.1 transitional or HTML5), to get the page to start working in IE, the scroller on the right of the page stops working.

If there are no magic fixes, I will have to rebuild the site – but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for me before I do that.

Start by validating the code, that will show you that there are some errors in the markup:

For example, you have used <header> instead of <head>, you have mismatched tags, you have escaped a lot of quotation marks.

Fixing the worst errors will probably make the page work with a doctype also.
