We have started experiencing problems where mac users are unable to upload

Said "this a compatibility problem between macs and

Well, as a web-developer I can and will make the following guarantee:
The whole point of the World Wide Web is inter-operation. Before
the invention of the web as we know it in 1992, as a developer you
had to contend with all manner of separate ways of communicating
with your audience, the Internet didn't have the unified "front-end"
that we today experience as the web.
Software should and can follow the relevant standards, in this case
those published by the W3 consortium. As a web-developer I strive to
make my projects as compliant as possible. Of course this in itself
leads to issues where non-compliant browsers have issues.
If you have issues with specific browsers on particular operating
systems, I guarantee to resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the
publisher of the site.
Any comments would be appreciated please.
Is this really an insurmountable problem?
Do you know of any decent web developers, who could provide such a
guarantee?
I'm not sure it's appropriate for me to bang my own drum here, so I
won't, but if you would like me to quote, I'd be happy to.
