Hello,
One of my coworkers created our external web site. It renders properly on IE 5.5, IE 6, Opera 6 & Netscape 6.X under Windows. However, it doesn't render properly under IE 5.1 running on Mac OS X
Anyone have any ideas why not? It looks like IE on the mac is mainly ignoring his style sheet.

Has the page been tried as a HTML file rather than XHTML? Maybe the XML code is throwing IE?

My only idea is to add an id with the same value in the div tags (example div class="head" id="head")

I think it's to do with the DHTML/Javascript dropdown menu/navigation?
you could try this one available from DHTML central
which is fairly wall tested.
strangely doesn't work in Omniweb though, I think a trip to the appropriate thread is in order

DHTML isn't supported in Omniweb just yet.

The problem is that IE 5/Mac strictly follows rules regarding case-sensitivity. XML is case-sensitive, and therefore XHTML is also case-sensitive. The web page looks like valid XHTML, with a DOCTYPE and all lower-case tags. However, the CSS has mixed upper-case and lower-case. Try making everything in the stylesheet lower-case. That should fix the problem (I hope).

Thanks. We'll give this a try. Seemed to work for another website with this problem.
