I use the latest FF. When I open one of your examples in the same tab (by simply clicking on the link), it appears that the div definition in the head is displayed as an empty gray box that sits on top of the title. It looks ugly. However, if I open the examples in a new tab (by right clicking and selecting Open Link in New Tab), this extra box doesn't appear. It looks the way it was intended to look. The doctype is the same, and both have the same doctype as this main page. (I was looking for signs of HTML5, which you're not using.) So why would the page look weird when opened one way but not the other? I’m curious about a weird phenomenon in your examples. I use the latest FF.

I am having trouble with the iPhone, because while IE, FF, and Safari all add the scroll bars, mobile Safari does not! It is a challenge. Thanks for the suggestions on overflow.
