First of hello to everyone, this is my first posting.
Now the problem: I have a website www.chinatownconnection.com and it has issues with mac safari browser. If yall can go look, you will see some of the issues I am about to address:

1. When there is a hyperlink, I decide not to underline it when created using dreamweaver. However, when it shows up on safari, it is still underlined. In fact, the underline stretches farther and farther. This happens in the food & dining page. Can anyone help me as to why this occurs?

2. With picture placement, everything looks fine is IE and Firefox, but Safari it would be off by a little bit, for instance the homepage where I have the weather square picture. It is not aligned correctly.

3. Fonts: Are safari fonts different from IE? Because those fonts that show up on Safari are not the ones I used.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!!

I'm afraid I can't be much help, the fonts look the same to me on FireFox and Safari, just different size. Hyperlink underlining, it could just be that safari doesn't let you break the user experience by not underlining - that is, you shouldn't do it, the problem is that other browsers let you.

You'd probably get more help if you post to the Web Developer forum (a few down from this one) and used a subject that actually referred to the problem, i.e. "need help with appearance in Safari"

Looks ok to me, but your "Weather Widget" is a skew... a tad.

You need to embed the fonts, othewise they'll go to the user defaults... which could be Verdana, Helvetica, etcetera.
