Hello,

Not sure I am posting this in the right place. I recently built a Web site using dreamweaver MX on my PC. The formatting of course looks fine when viewed via a PC (IE and Netscape). But when I look at the site via a Mac, the formatting is screwed up.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

The site is http://www.buyerbroker.ws

Thanks,
Rob

hehe sounds familiar...I once built a web site and it didn't look good on a mac...well I told them (the compan I built it for ) that 99.9% of their website visitors had a pc, which was true. So they didn't care and I didn't have to change the design... heh lucky me.

Hi roberd.

I looked at your site in Mozilla, and the problem isn't just a Mac problem. Looks like you've got a couple of potential problem-causers here.

First of all, you don't have a "doctype" at the top of your page. That could cause parsing problems with several browsers.

Also, you've got your first table's width set to 100%, then you've set the total width of your cells to 992px. That causes a visual mixup if the viewer's screen width is less than 992 pixels, which is the case with some Mac monitors. (Sorry, I don't remember the actual measurements off the top of my head.)

After you've added a doctype to your page, I'd suggest validating your site - http://validator.w3.org/. That could clear up quite a few problems for you, and increase your site's compatibility with quite a few browsers.

HTH!

Thank you ... your advise sounds good and I will give it a try as soon as I have some time. Again, thanks!
