But validation problems can make the page not work in certain browsers. It's a valid concern to validate your page. Before you even work in CSS, you *have* to have a good grasp of HTML. If you have a good grasp of it, then correcting the errors in your code should be a piece of cake, and will make the page more likely to work in Safari and in other browsers on both platforms. Safari is really not that difficult to make behave. CSS and HTML work in concert with each other. CSS does not operate in a vacuum. Once you get a handle on your HTML too, you will be that much closer to no longer being a CSS n00b. I'm no expert, but I'm no n00b, either. I spend about half my time working in print, so I get out of practice with coding. I make some dumb mistakes, but they're rarely because I did something that would make my HTML and CSS code not validate. It's also a lot easier to get help from others when I'm not making the people I'm asking for help from to do EXTRA work to try to figure out where my code is hiccuping. They're helping out of the goodness of their hearts. The least I can do is make sure I'm not making extra work for them. If I do, I can't be surprised if they don't help me at all. They're busy building sites themselves.
