Hello

I have recently redesigned and relaunched my site at http://1000words.net. I have since had queries that it does not render correctly on Safari since:

(a) the text overflows; and
(b) the title is not displayed on the left as it should.

I have no experience with Safari as I am not familiar with Macs and had sought to make the site compatible to Firefox and IE. I am guessing it is the overflow div commands but am not at all sure.

Do you know how I can fix this error (I hope it can be repaired!). A good proportion of my audience use Safari (based on the emails I have received) Any starters would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards
David

You might want to do some reading up on existing Safari bugs here:
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports...ari/index.html

Just a quick glance at the source, you have declared the document type (DOCTYPE) as HTML 4.01 Transitional, but looking at the source, it seems you're using XHTML so a document type for XHTML should be used.

The doctype is the rules that tell the browser what to expect from the site, in most cases you want to be within these rules, else you'll throw browsers into Quirks mode, which really means, the browser has the choice to display the site as it sees fit, not how the developer may have created it. This is because it works on compatibility rather than to the rules.

If you clean up the site to be XHTML and within those rules, and fix any validator errors http://validator.w3c.org/ then you can start on fixing the irregularities, but you'll probably find that Safari will come right then.

Cheers,
