Safari scroll issues

Page viewed in Safari loads but footer is displaying in body

[lleemon]

Working on a site in asp and was just informed by a Mac user that Safari doesn't seem to like the way the page was designed. You see most of the page but the footer is moved up into the body on all pages and on the product pages it doesn't let you scroll down to see all the products listed. Has anyone seen this before? Know why it's happening?

The page has asp connections, scripting, html tables, javascript, css for font styles, and using asp include statements.

Seems to work in Firefox on a mac and has tested find in Firefox 1.5, IE, and Netscape 7 on a pc.

Any useful advice would be great. Thanks in advance

My first suggestion, especially on a page with that much technology in use, is to validate the html and css:

W3C Validator - HTML [validator.w3.org]
W3C Validator - CSS [jigsaw.w3.org]

Trying to fix cross-browser rendering issues with errors in the code can be very frustrating -- or sometimes even impossible.

Someone found a solution to my issue. In my include we put a table around everything the same width as the main table and seems to work. Not sure why you have to do this because I thought your pages are rendered on the server then displayed to your browser. And this table was part of the main table and should be just like additional table rows but guess Mac Safari doesn't like you to do it that way.

Either way, it works now!

Just an FYI, for those of you that work mostly on pc sites and wonder what your site looks like in Safari on a mac and you don't have a mac there is a site that you can enter the url and it will show an image from Safari. Better then nothing. Wish I could assist you better with a link and name but that is against forum policy to mention that. I think. Very timid to post anything anymore because of all the editing that seems to occur.
