I am having alot of problems doing a page with css for the text portions.

First, I designed it so it looked good in Mac IE and it looked fine there, but in Safari and everything else, including Windows IE, it looked horrible.

Then, I designed it so it would look good in Safari, and now it looks bad in practically everything else, for mac or windows.

I like the control of css, but how are you supposed to design with it when it looks bad on many/some browsers???

Here is an example of where I am right now. I want it to look like it does in Safari.

Link, please? While looking at the images gives us a good idea of what the page looks like, we can't really tell what's wrong without the code unless we can see it.

Thanks for the message, but I decided to ditch Dreamweaver which has caused me so much grief.

Back to trusty FreeWay!

Its looking much nicer now. Here is a peek.

Good to see.

Dreamweaver and GoLive are nice, as is Freeway (particularly Freeway, in fact), for what they do. They're extremely good for prototyping, and to a lesser extent for experimentation. But to be honest, I've always been of the opinion that, for final production-quality HTML, there's still no way to beat good old fashioned hand-coding, be it for individual pages or for templates. It just forces the developer to write cleaner, tighter code, and generally bandwidth and compatibility both benefit as a result.
