Wash your mouth out with soap :-)
The validator gives this result:

Error: entity was defined here

Fatal error! unrecognized {{DOCTYPE}}; unable to check document

I couldn't parse this document, because it uses a public identifier 
that's not in my catalog!

You should make the first line of your HTML document a DOCTYPE 
declaration, for example, for a typical HTML 4.01 document:

<.snipped>
       <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
       --------------------------------------------------
<./snipped>

Mac OS 9.0.4, IE5, 17" monitor, 1024 x 768.

The Altavista box does show up but is misaligned, and the big table 
shifts to the right when I mouse over the links.

Cheers.
