Website displays wrong on IE but correctly in Chrom

I am a newbie - in fact working on a simple personal site for a school final .... due in two days. I recently downgraded to Dreamweaver 2015 because that is what the class was created in, and I had a lot of struggles finding changes in the app. Now I'm figuring out changes in the app I downgraded, and I'm not finding online solutions to my problem.

My code is probably a mess, I have only been creating and not cleaning up much when I delete something I don't like. However, I will post it below. Everything looks and works fine in Chrome, but in IE the layout changes and the simple background color disappears.

Copy & paste this error-free code into a new, blank document and test it in IE. 

For expediency, I put all CSS into the document's <head> tag.

Also, I tried to run the validator, but it gave me a error "The request to the W3C service has timed out. The service or your internet connection appears to be down." I tried to research the error, but a lot of forums without a resolution. So I used Ready to check - Nu Html Checker

The errors it came up with don't seem related, but I am going to try to fix them:

This is the report for home.html and the heatherstyles.css:

THAT WORKED PERFECTLY!! What did you do?

I removed the pixel height from the css of my text containers, and I gave alt names to my images. The only difference I noticed was the two boxes moved down. I know my instructor will view it on IE and Chrome. Chrome still looks good, but here is what I see in IE (I also cleared my cache for testing):

Naturally, we can't see images on your computer.

This is what I see in MS Edge

Firefox:

Chrome:

Check your code for errors.

Looks like your text zoom in FireFox isn't set to 100% and the OP has fixed heights in their css.

@hah0528,

Remove pixel heights from the css of your text containers and allow the content to determine the height.

Nancy's screen grabs show what happens when a viewer increases their text size in a fixed height container (it breaks out).

Yes.  I have my default text size set to a higher value so I can see better.   It's a common practice these days.

Do you have this posted on the internet somewhere so we can see it in our browsers? It's much quicker to troubleshoot that way.

If so, please post the web address here.

If not, we need to see the contents of heatherstyle.css

I do not, it is only on my computer. The CSSstyle I posted is the heatherstyle.css - sorry, I should I typed that instead.

without knwoing which version of IE that you track... here are different approach that you can try (independently)

did you try replace the linear gradient in different place like using the following in complement of all the other backgound description

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#FFFFFF, endColorstr=#737373);

give a try to a description of the background and not the background-image

background: linear-gradient(185deg, #FFFFFF, #737373);

you can also try to indicate in the HTML HEAD the following meta

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
