I've just built my first site in css and it seems to be fine on all browsers except mac ie which just refuses to display anything. The only thing I can think is that theres some javascript causing probs, but I'm a designer not a coder so I'm a bit lost - anyone got any ideas?

yes.. dont worry about Mac IE.. its really old, no longer officially supported by Microsoft, and its horrible.

yeah I know, its more so that I know why rather than actually getting it woring on mac ie

it hasn't been updated since 03. in this day and age, it's dead. leave it by the wayside.

some of my notes:
mac ie doesnt like background images wrapped in quotes.
it also has errors if you dont put whitespace in certain places.
eg. background:#999 url('image.gif')no-repeat;

just build it with tables, what's the big deal with css? page loads faster? this aint '99

you can hide rules in css from IE/Mac by using the commented slash method
/* ---- Hide from Mac ----- \*/
#body {
}/* ---- End Hide ----- */

i think the bigger problem you are having with ie mac is that you have not deleted it yet.

don't delete Mac IE!
It is probably the most strict of all the browsers. So check your work on IE because if it works in Mac IE, it will work on anything. Just don't use it as your regular browser :)

I am not going to repeat what everyone else said. Why not post a link for people to have a look at.

(Feb 24 06, 07:28)not true, or at least misleading
- jakeyj0
you're right - its not a guarantee that it will work. just a general rule of thumb
