I build websites and I have a client on a mac

I do not have a mac (can't afford it yet but I am trying)

on the home page of the site I built and a couple of the other pages
it looks bad to him in Safari

like the home page has an extra 2 inch space at the top that I do not see on my PC

I was wondering if someone could look at it and tell me why it is happening so I can fix it for my client

if you go to this address you can see the site

http://www.bootyparlor.com/index.php

and enter this (I have it password protected because it is not live)

UserName :booty
Password : indicom

=============================================

thank you in advacne I am desperate.....

I have a feeling it has to do with IE pc not supporting the height attribute on table/cell tags and safari does. or vice versa. Either way, its not a standard, and just by quickly looking I think thats your problem.

this is actually one of those crazy browser problems that I see all the time. I took a look at your code and made some changes to make it work perfectly and I was going to email it to you, but you won't allow that. But here's what I did... this should help everyone else out as well:

First, I got rid of all Height tags that had percentages as their values. IE will take percentage of available space and Safari uses percentage of space on the page. That's why the Safari render is so much further down.

Next, got rid of your left and right gutter columns until all I was left with is your content. Next I wrapped your content in a table like so:

[html]<table width=100% height=100%><tr><td align=center valign=middle>
<! --- ALL YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE -->
</td></tr></table>[/html]

Then IE & Safari both see that height=100% as the total height of the page.

Also, I got rid of your duplicate <body> tag.

Hope that helps you and others.
