IE not using all styles in an imported stylesheet

I created a page then went back and took the styles out and placed
them in a stylesheet. Now on IE not all of the CSS commands are being
used. For example a clear:both doesn't work when taken out and placed
in an external stylesheet.

Styles included:
http://gsvdl.net/archeology/xunantunich_a.htm
Styles in external stylesheet:
http://gsvdl.net/archeology/xunantunich_a_1.htm

What is happening here?

The Validator (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) says you've got
mangled code; I see a stray quote in p.firstfooter.

I also see doubled-up clear:both; in p.footer, a difference in margin in
#d1, multiple declaration of the stylesheet, and -- this is kind of
funny -- id's which have no semantic meaning, like "d1", and which can
easily be confused with other id's like "dl". In fact, I believe your
CSS has two rules for #dl and none for #d1.

I don't know which of the above might be relevant, but ...

Thanks John it was the stray quote mark. I use the HTML Validator but
haven't used the CSS one. I will start.
