I am a total knobhead when it comes to HTML and I'm hoping someone on here is super pro and can tell me what I am doing wrong ("everything" is not a valid answer!)

I have a div, which is inside another div... the structure is like this:

<div id="main_bg">
<div align="right">
<strong>
<p>This is a line of text</p>
<p>Another line of text</p>
<p>Yet another line</p>
</strong>
</div>
</div>

The problem is the right alignment... it works correctly in firefox and chrome, but internet explorer shows the FIRST <p> left aligned, yet the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs are aligned correctly... It's frustrating the shit outta me!

As far as I knew, the id on the first div just gives it a name that can be referenced? It wouldn't be attaching any formatting to that div that could over-ride the other div inside it? Why is it just internet explorer that fails? Should I really care? (from google analytics it shows under 10% of visits from IE browsers)
