On certain pages, on Mac IE 5.1 the background below the main table scrolls and scrolls as if it has a mind of it's own. Since the same style sheet is used on each page, I suspect if it is a css problem it lies in the css coding actually embedded in the html.
If it's not a css related problem, any help would be greatly appreciated! This has had me stumped for a loooong time.

The thing is, each browser has its own peculiar form of error recovery. If there is an error, it may only affect a few browsers that don't cover that particular case in their error recovery routines. Then, once you know your code is valid, you can pull it apart to find out what the browser bugs are all about.
So - does your code validate?
I checked both the css & html. Css validates 100% and html shows a few minor erros due to incorrect doctype, but this has nothing to do with the problem because no matter doctype I use, the problem still exists.
Basically I deleted all content except JS inside the <head> and the problem still existed. Next I started deleted the JS(s) script by script until the problem with the scroll disappeared. I was able to get rid of the problem of the HUGE vertical scroll, after removing one particular script, BUT I am using the same script on a sister site with no problem in Mac IE 5.0.
For some reason, Mac IE 5.1 did not like the large expanse of code. Only problem I noticed is that Weblog Expert Lite changed the dimensions on one of my images. Just wondering how common this is.
Do you know of a simialr program that will compress code and is either freeware or fairly inexpensive?
Thanks for your help!
I crunched the entire source code using Weblog Expert Lite. Uploaded the page and it worked!Weblog Expert is a log analysis software package. It reads your server logs and generates reports. It doesn't do anything to your site...other than possibly upload reports that it makes.
