Macintosh presentation too wide

Using css positioning, my pages appear too wide on Macintosh

Friends:

I'm trying to finish up my first site with css layout rather than tables.

The front page of the site is driven by a Movable Type installation and can be seen here (it's not public yet, so most of the links won't work - the majority of pages are still on my hard drive):

<snip>

My style sheet is located here:

<snip>

Everything was working fine until I looked at the front page on a Macintosh. <grin> On a Mac, the pages are too wide - forcing a horizontal scroll bar.

Can someone take a look and see if something looks wrong to them? Since I'm new to css positioning, it's somewhat difficult for me to troubleshoot.

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Frank

Hi Frank,

Sorry for the stupid question, but did you happen to check screen resolutions first?

Frank, no need to see the url's, that's a macintosh bug (if it's what I think it is). Try seraching WW or google something describing width, macintosh, css, positioning etc.

I'm not a mac user, but I know there is a bug that has something to do with it (mac ie) not liking width:100%.

Thanks mipapage - I found something on apple's site that looks like a solution to the problem.
