My web site home page looks great in I.E.5.2.3 but half the stuff is missing in safari can someone look at my source code and see where I have gone wrong with that page?



I know that the lighting effect on the presents word will not work but the slide show should work and the spacing should also work?

Can anyone help?

problem page

p.s. let it preload

Thanks

It's not HTML valid.
It looks bad in mozilla too.
You really don't need so much javascript do you ?
check out your html syntax, there is a least a grammar one (the height="60" is glued to the previous keyword ).

How do I check for invalid HTML

do I have to go through it all or is there some program that will point out stuff that It doesn't understand?

There are a couple of things you can do.

1. Run your pages through the HTML validator at http://validator.w3c.org to pick up any standards compliance issues and obvious bugs.

2. Perform a reduction. By a reduction I mean slowly remove code from a copy of the html source until you have the absolute minimum amount of HTML to show the problem working in IE correctly, and then debug that small amount of code in Safari to make it work.

3. Look for the simplest option available. By that I mean can you use an animated gif instead of all the javascript on your page ?

4. Don't forget to test on IE 5, 5.5 and 6 on windows 'cause they are VERY different beasts to any mac browser.

I would like to reduce the code the java script for the forum is not to bad.

The lighting effect only works in windows and the slide show should be universal.

There is some in the shows to sport line.

I like the overall look that I got would love to do it smaller code but not sure how at the moment.
