Your page does have source-code and CSS issues, and it is stuck in 'quirks mode' in all browsers because it lacks a 'standards mode' triggering doctype. Doctypes and their respective layout mode: <http://gutfeldt.ch/matthias/articles/doctypeswitch/table.html> Check with the validators. HTML: <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.callingazhome.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.591> CSS: <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.callingazhome.com/&warning=1&profile=css21> Your CSS contains a number of mostly harmless "double-styling" - properties/values that are already implied by other properties/values or by default. Note also that absolute positioning is generally not "safe" for positioning elements in pages without stating relations an prepare space for them. Absolute positioned elements make your page weak for end-user introduced variables like font resizing and alike. A:P can create serious problems for less experienced designers. Beyond that it is difficult to judge what your page is supposed to look like and/or where your problems lie. Safari 3 and Opera 9.6 doesn't present your page much different from other browsers, so you have to provide details on what you think looks wrong in which versions of which browsers, compared to what it looks like in the exact browsers/versions you think present it correctly. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
