I recently overhauled my domain web-site and brought it up to date
with XHTML and CSS. I'm self-taught, but that hasn't stopped me from
trying to have a pretty good-looking (if quirky) site. But I'm
stumped and hope that my problem will be glaringly obvious to one of
you.
The URL: http://www.jaykinney.com
The problem: Everything seems fine on my Mac (Safari, IE, Mozilla,
Firefox), but the header art (3 varieties on 3 types of pages) and
background color vanish on my wife's PC laptop (IE and Firefox).
I'd attribute this to some IE bug, but the problem is there in Firefox/PC,
too!
Both the XHTML and CSS are validated.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful.
I don't think I'm seeing the problem you're describing. I do see others
though. I have a simplified testcase to show one of them that's probably
attributable to a difference in default font sizes in the browsers on
your Mac and on her Laptop, resulting in the last links spilling out the
bottom of the div as font size is increased:

I'm guessing her laptop is one of many high resolution models that come
from the vendor pre-configured to use large fonts, which means a DPI
of 120 instead of the usual 96. That would make her IE default 20px
instead of 16px, but would not affect Firefox. I could easily be wrong
on this guess though.
Care with how and where you set font-size and line-height should solve this.
Other problems I see relate to your handling of text sizes and leading.
Rather than going into font details most on this list don't want to hear
about again, I'll just offer a few resources for you to look at:
