This would be a good first place to check:

As is always the case when you've got html/css rendering problems, the
cms is _totally irrelevant_ until _after_ you've identified what's
wrong with the html document. First, you have to determine how the
markup (most likely) and/or css in the Typo3 site differs from the
html template you're implementing in Typo3.

Once you've figured out what's wrong with the markup, it should be
pretty easy to track down where the specific problem is with your
Typo3 setup.
