Hey everyone. These forums rock I must say, thanks for taking the time to check it out.

This is a stupid problem, but for some reason this page of thumbnails and pics will not load up on a mac. I assume on OSX cuz this guys is a big mac fan.

I know not to post the URL so here is the code. I believe it is just the table part, since everything before and after is on the other pages (head, body info)...so here is just the pages...

<html>
<head>
<title>Some Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="keywords" CONTENT="Some Keywords">

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>

<STYLE>
BODY {
COLOR: #CCCCCC; FONT-FAMILY: Trebuchet MS
}
A:link {
COLOR: #990000; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:visited {
COLOR: #990000; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:active {
COLOR: #990000; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
COLOR: black; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}</STYLE>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin

image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "images/players/players_joe.jpg";

</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#CCCCCC" text="black">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (document.all¦¦document.getElementById)
document.body.style.background="url('images/right_bg.jpg') #CCCCCC center no-repeat fixed"
</script>
<center>
<img src="images/small_logo_02.jpg" align="center"><br>
<br>
<br>
<table align="center" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="520"><font face="Tahoma" size="3" color="black"><center><u><strong>Photographs</u></strong><br>
Click on a thumbnail for the full-sized image.

<br>
<br>
<table align="center" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4" border="1" bordercolor="black">

<td colspan="6"><center><b><u><font face="Tahoma" size="3" color="black">Band Photos</font></b></center></td>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, dcmedia!

Just a quick question to start with: is the closing 

</table>
present in the source code? You left it off the code sample you posted. A missing end tag for a table can cause problems including the table not being displayed.

You might want to run the page through a validator, too, to root out any other errors (there are a few in there):

[validator.w3.org...]

holy **** i suck, there is a lot of errors...

hmmm

i dont know, i just need to find why this will not work on a MAC, it works fine everywhere else, hah.

ANyway please let me know what is causing the MAC problem, I will go through what the validator suggests, but I want to pinpoint exactly what.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, dcmedia!

Any particular browser on the Mac that is causing the problems or every Mac browser?

Here's a guess -- you have a <u> tag for your heading that never gets closed.

Since the <td> and <tr> do get closed, most browsers will recover from that element-left-open error. But some browsers were coded so that they don't look specifically for what tag is closed. Instead they just count how many tags there are, and then use any closing tags to close elements in the exact order they were opened. This is a coding "hack" that helps the browser avoid getting tangled up in nesting errors -- so for example, in markup like this -- <b><u>text</b></u> -- such a browser would use the </b> tag to close the <u> element.

As I said, it was a hack but it was used.
