Browser problem
Hi guys,
The website is made up of HTML and CSS on MAC platform. I tested with different browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. When I looked 2 different browsers, the browsers were completely different ways. I don't understand why the 2 browser so different?
Any ideas that you can do that for me? That's would be great!

Ok sure, feyd.
Have a look at my website at http://www.kiripark.com.au and then you can see the popup window. In different browsers, you can see the popup window had different layouts.
So why the broswers is different?

The Mac IE is IE 5. That's two full versions back. The engine that drove IE on the Mac hasn't been updated since 2000. It's missing a lot of the additions for handling CSS modern browsers contain. I wouldn't expect any modern sites to look the same between that and modern browsers unless you used the old ways of layout, which is not a good idea.
IE5 mac is something of the past. Has already been a while. I even don't bother too much about IE5 win anymore.
You should check your stats and see if IE5/mac even shows up at all. Then decide if it's worth the trouble.
And secondly: many/some developers worry about websites looking exactly the same in all browsers. But think about it. How important is that? Do you think someone browsing with IE5/mac or IE5/win (or any other browser) is going to start up another browser and compare the way your website looks in both? You think he or she is going to call you and complain that your sidebar header is 10px more to the left in IE5 then it is in IE6?
My philosophy is that a website should function and look as intended in modern browsers. And be accessible and usable in older browsers. With clean (x)html/css that shouldn't be a problem. If IE5 users, both win and mac, don't get the full fancy experience or miss a few graphical details, so be it.
