Well I found one distinct difference between the two which is the header...

The HTML was made in XHTML when I was coding it.. but the header in 
typo3 makes it HTML so there might be a fault there when doing that. 
Look at the header which is in the HTML template:

"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">"

Now look at the one that is made by typo3:

"<!DOCTYPE html
	PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>"

I think that is the problem.
