Problems with apple ie ver 5

My boss is running an apple laptop, and I have an iframe that's on one of our sites that contains an ad. Now when he clicks on the ad, nothing is produced. The link doesn't work, along with the fact that it is an apple. Every machine that is tested on, works just fine. Same thing with anchor links. There are two anchor links on a page, now the bottom one that goes to the top of the page works just fine, but when he clicks on the top one that will go to the bottom of the page, doesn't work. Any ideas, besides getting him on a pc? ;)

css code:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
#Special {
position: absolute;
top: 97px;
left: 2px;
z-index: 100
}
-->
</STYLE>

html code:


<SPAN ID="special"><a href="tickets.html"><IMG SRC="images/ticketsale.gif" border="0"></a></SPAN>

<IFRAME style="DISPLAY: block; POSITION: absolute; left: 2; top: 97; HEIGHT: 63px; WIDTH: 191px;" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" src="special1.html" frameBorder="0" noResize scrolling="no"></IFRAME>
<DIV style="DISPLAY: block; POSITION: absolute; left: 2; top: 97; z-index: 100;"><a href="tickets.html"><IMG SRC="images/ticketsale.gif" border="0"></a></DIV>

Mods, this could belong in about three diff forums, but I thought this would be the most general and apt to get a better answer, however, feel free to move to a forum if the problem could be better solved there.

You're using position:absolute and z-index to place a div, a span and an iframe in the exact same position. I'd suggest re-thinking that approach.

In fact, it looks like the span and the div have identical content, and they also have an identical z-index.

I can see why some browsers might get tied in knots. It sure is asking a lot from older technology (like IE5) and from a Microsoft browser produced for Apple customers (makes you go hmmmm, doesn't it?)
