I'm working on a website for my school's newspaper. The site looks great on a PC (with Internet Explorer), but on a Mac it gets thrown off a bit- the main table is pushed to the side about a centimeter and a yellow bar of the same size takes its place. I have fiddled around with the code all day, but I just can't figure out why the site looks so different on Macs.<br />
<br />
Could anyone with access to both a Mac and a PC help me out?<br />
<br />
Here's the URL for the site: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alternativeshift.com/terrapintimes/v18n1.html">http://www.alternativeshift.com/terrapi ... v18n1.html</a><!-- m --><br />

The first four reports are for browser specific code, and can only be fixed by using CSS instead of your non-standard HTML.<br />
<br />
However, all of the other errors reported are typos, incorrect code, missing tags (like <tr> .. </tr>, and several </a> as well), nesting errors, and so on. Work through those first to see if that eliminates the problem.<!--content-->thats a really nice website giz, wish i'd have known about it before.<!--content-->>> thats a really nice website giz, wish i'd have known about it before. <<<br />

I've only mentioned it in about 500 of my previous posts. Easy to miss it.

I see what you mean about the shift. It looks to me like the menub iframe is a bit off. I wonder if aligning the TD to the right, rather than the default left would help move it over.<br />
<br />
I don't use iframes as a rule, so I don't know much about them, I'm afraid.<br />
<br />
Considering the length of the page, though, do you really need the iframes? Could you put the menus directly into the table cell and put a background colour to it? <br />
<br />
<shrug> Just a thought. <br />
