...and I'm a newbie, but I'm trying to build an all-css site, which is looking ok on a PC, but goes wonky on a MAC. Anyone with vast knowledge know a quick fix, or should I get scouring the forums?
Only 3 links on this test site are working - try not to laugh at my "work"...

what's it doing on a mac?

what the wee teuchter said.
Oh aye and welcome tae NT.

It's not really on a mac, and I don't care THAT much, but I was upset when I looked at it by chance on a friends MAC and it looked higgledy piggledy.
Thanks for the welcome message by the way - I was expecting random replies with abuse / put downs / "your stuff is shit" banter... maybe this NT is a higher class of punter...

Well, I don't know if you know CSS, but if you can see my css code there is a block called "navblock" which houses the menus to the left and to the right. Looks okay on a PC ken? But disnae on a Mac. The menu just scrolls all down the left in a big horrible list and extends the nav block...
- MX_OnD0
try this first....
use classes instead of IDs inside your navblock div
ie
< DIV id = menu >
would become
< DIV class = menu >
in yer HTML
and in yer CSS
#menu
would become
.menu

What difference does that make?
Won't it make all my DIV ID walls fall down?
I'll try it though... cheers!

the difference, young whippernsapper, is that IDs should only be used ONCE on a page, CLASSES, however, can be used as often as you want.
- Trousermouse0
A ha! That's a really good tip! Cheers. In practical terms, would the ID be used once - for example as the "container" of everything on the page? Everything else is a class...?

what browser are you referring to on a mac? If it's IE...don't waste your time. Any mac person still using IE almost deserves to have ALL sites suck. Looks fine in Safari and Firefox to me, although I am not sure what the "PC version" is suppose to look like.
- puter0
ah I see, clicking the thumbnails pulls the enlarged images to the right. Too busy to look at your code right now but I wish you luck.

Mx_OND- how come this guy: www.cssbeauty.com has got LOADS of ID's in HIS code?? He seems like an expert...
Dang Nigga!
- MX_OnD0
basically yes.
BUT if you have a header on the page for example it could still be a good idea to make an ID for it, thus:
#header
then you can use this as a base to make further style adjustments...
#header p
#header ul
#header li
etc etc....

(Mar 15 05, 06:44)Cos he's a fanny.
No seriously, I can't see any two IDs with the same name on the page there...
also he is using tags for formatting - see the < strong > tags for the dates in the news section.... that is just plain wrong if you want to use css fully...
pffft.
AND
if you want a link to appear on NT type in the h t t p : / / without spaces before the address.
You are welcome
- weestu0
aye, whit thon teuchter mx says. I hardly use .classes at all, style the div and everything inside it...
- MX_OnD0
aye and imagine starting with "I know you're experts..." and then questioning the very authority you stood in awe of not ten minutes ago....
tsk tsk tsk.
