CSS Positioning > Google Adsense
The page at the link be shows Google ads just fine in Firefox 4 but IE9, Chrome, Opera don't display/render the ads (although the Adsense scrips are being downloaded in each of these browsers). What are we doing wrong?

Before you do anything, try a different doctype. See if it works with an html4 DocType:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Looks like it's fixed.

I really want it to work in HTML5 if I can but I'll try the more normal doctype. I know the ads are loading on all the browsers, it's just that the center DIV is laying on top of all the other DIV's on the left and right.
I could use z-index but that's got other problems.
Give me a few hours here.
Thanks in advance.

Per link below, I changed it over to HTML 4.01 Transitional and it certifies as error-free and still, the center DIV is on top of all the other DIV's on the page. Dang.

I tried it in simplified HTML and it works fine (see attached HTML below). I'm starting to wonder if this issue has something to do with the iframes Google is using with their advertising (see link below).

Yuck.
Try commenting out everything on the page that is not relevant. Strip it down to just what you need for the ads to run. Verify that the ads run, then start turning elements back on, one by one until something breaks.
