Problems on Mac, works well on PC

[a_angova]

Hi all,

I have two problems that occur only on Macs on IE, Safari and Firefox browsers work fine.

1) I have pages, that are validated against html validator and have no errors, but still extra space is added at the bottom of the page sometimes and it makes the page to scroll although it has no content at the bottom.
2) I use <p> element for texts and the text-align: justify; but sometimes I get one on a line although there is enough space to fit it with the other words.

I hope someone will be able to help me with advice.

Best Regards, Ani

Are you comparing this to IE6 on Windows or IE5?

Internet Explorer 5 has display issues especially if you are using CSS code on your website. If you are using CSS you might consider creating a separate stylesheet for Internet Explorer 5.

a_angova,

Microsoft has discontinued the use of IE for Macintosh. 5.2 is the latest release, built in 2001. That being said, fewer and fewer users are actually using IE for Mac.

Does it happen on Windows version of IE 5. also?

If not, I am not going to tell you to not worry about it, because I try to make all of my pages compatible with Mac IE 5.x, however it is not the end of the world if you don't, as the larger volume of users are probably 1) not using Mac, and 2) if they are, they're not using IE.

The only way I find to make all pages compatible with IE 5.0 is try to use general CSS that's accepted all the way around, and in rare cases like icecoldsw sugested, make a special style sheet for IE 5.

Hi,

I'm not sure what's going on with the justified text in your paragraphs. Are you seeing only one word on a line? Are your paragraphs very small?

As for the scrolling; I'm quite sure there's whitespace after your closing html tag. Try deleting everything after </html>.

Hi, Span

I do see only one word on a line.
The paragraphs are wide enough.
There's no whitespace after my closing html tag.

There is a similar topic on the forums about this:

Does this help you in any way?

Sorry, this does not help me.

The <p> elements, I have, have css
p.justify { text-align: justify; } and I used them without any div elements. They are used in tables that have width enough to fit them and display plain text on the page.
