LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI hope you can solve this. I have 2 websites. Both are simple HTML homepages. However, they can both be viewed on a PC usine IE or Firefox but not on a Mac machine! Im pulling my hair out!!
The 2 sites are:

There could be quite a few problems. To help me figure this out I was wondering what you created the sites in.

check out this site http://validator.w3.org/, and test your site for errors and make sure to fix any bugs. Some browsers are very picky with the coding, especially safari for MAC.
It probably explains why lauris and Rinaldidesigns can both see the design if they are using IE. Is it safari that it isn't working on? Also changing the !doctype makes a difference as well, I usualy use
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">. An overall easier way and more supported (better with older browsers) is using tables within tables as opposed to div layers which could work for this layout.Last edited by apresico; 03-01-2007 at 02:57 AM.

careful in using css and div because safari is a a little buggy specially the older versions. I have been having a problem with it with my previous job so i decided to use tables and css instead of divs.. It solves my problem..
Goodluck

I always use <div>s in my designs. No problems so far. Before finishing a website, I test it with Internet Explorer (which is by far the most annoying browser there is), and of course, Safari, which can be tricky as well.
Most problems with <div>s may come from using float, position: relative, or position: absolute to position the boxes. Also, keep in mind that some browsers may ignore mistakes you make in your HTML or CSS coding, but some browsers may not. That's why you must always validate your webpages, and your Cascading Style Sheets.
