Hi All,
Cross browser issue im afraid.
I have a demo site that runs on all browsers fine but when put on to the mac , it looses all it's alignment.
I've never had to write tableless site thinking of mac and am completely amis as to what the issues might me.

I wandered if someone could possibly over look the code and comment as to what the problem might be that the mac is not liking.

the url of the page is demo page here

Ill hastne to say , im not look for a solution but more a popinter as to what is likely to be worong.
(All the alignment on the mac slips)

cheers
Steve

MACS are notoriously unfriendly beasts, are you using IE for the MAC. If so I would immediately swap to netscape and remove IE MAC Completly. or you could catch what your browsing with in JS and create a MAC style sheet.

Its as if it is not bad enough with microsoft making up its own rules while we all attempt to adhere to W3C.

Don't be such an ignoramous. Mac OS X is far more user friendly than any version of Microsoft I have ever used.
I only get a problem on my mac when viewing with IE. The site looks perfect in Safari. Therefore, the problem is a Microsoft one, not a Mac one.

And you'r best bet would probably be to define a separate stylesheet for IE which 0beron helped me do recently: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/showthread.php?t=27472

ignoramous.

Does my post not quickly say what yours does.

OSX has come along quite nicely yes. (wonder if it has anything to do with its NIX backend)

But prevoiusly 8, 9 etc were a nightmare and IE has always been a pain. So hence my original post. Scrap IE MAC and go netscape. And trust I know we have MAC's here.
