Will anyone show me why and how to fix my CSS so it works well in both Firefox and MS IE? Right now it seems to be working just fine in Mozilla but it shows up really bad under MS IE.
Here's the link.

Welcome to the hell that I deal with all the time. Micro$oft can't support a standard that they don't own, so they don't bother trying.
Proper CSS support in IE is pitiful at best, and down right ludicrous at worst.
The easiest way to fix your problem is to try not using css for layout. tables are the easiest. However, There is hope! Read up at:

might want to start with valid html instead of the soup you have now...

btw, you use weir id's instead of classes... change the html to for example:
<div class="rightsidemenu ul">
and the css to
div.rightsidemenu {
...
}

Don't listen to nickvd.
You may have to try out some different things, but tables are
not to be used to control layout unless you are...get ready...ready?...you sure?...ok, don't use tables unless you are displaying tabular data
You really shouldn't use ' ' to add spaces either, but that isn't too big of a deal.
I don't think your code looks too bad.
