problems with absolute positioning in ff and ie

I'm attempting to do simple layout using absolute positioning in CSS-works fine in Safari, but in FF and IE, my text overlaps my image.
I am using OS X 10.3.9 and realize that my version of ie is old (5.2) but the version of FF is relatively new (5.0)

Posting some could would be nice to debug.

First thing what I'm think about is that the z-index isn't right...

Whoops! Next time I'll remember to post! (duh-what was I thinking? it was WAY too early in the morning for me.) However, I figured out the problem, I had in-line styles in the img tag which were opposite the absolute positions i put in my stylesheet. Interesting that Safari would ignore the inline style, as I have understood that the inline styles always take precedent over stylesheets-(which was how IE and FF read them.)
thanks again-you guys are awesome
