IE uses Microsoft html code which does not exist in the standard
specifications. Other browsers have no reason to haphazardly adopt stuff
that Microsoft invents. There are also some cases where IE is incapable
of reading standard html but normally there are ways to do what you want
by following the standards. Apparently <bgsound
src="IntroMessage.mp3"> is not the right way to add sound to a web site,
I'm not sure what is.
Some standard references:

PS Would indenting the html help or hinder you in reading the coding for
the tables? The code is a LOT easier for me to read when indented but
maybe no help to you or not even practical.
