CSS Problems on Mac's Browser

I am currently working on a very simple web site for a local B&B. The problem
is, IE6 and Firefox both show the web site as designed. But my customer runs a
printing house and uses macs. She is using the brand new OS and the Browser
basically ignores my CSS properties. I get default text font/size and color
and white background.

First, is there a PC emulator for Mac's browser for testing purposes.
Second, does anyone have any advice with this problem? Should I just Set the
background and font properties manually on each page? Its a small page, only 7
or so pages and this is not a big problem, but I would like to avoid this in
the future for any bigger projects I may encounter.

Thanks

Virtual PC is often used.

Second, does anyone have any advice with this problem?

It would be impossible to say without looking at the code.

Can you post a link to the page?

First, you misunderestood my question. I mispoke. I am needing an emulator
for mac's browser to work on my PC.
Second, I have not hosted the page as of yet. I can use one of the free
sites, or I can post the code for the pages here.
I will goto one of the free hosting services and reply with a link here asap.

here is the site. First, you will notice that the css is not used on the
index.htm,l page. but it is used on the pages in the main.html frame when you
click on a link.

This works perfectly when tested locally on IE 6 and firefox

PS please be understanding, this is NOT finished by any means.

The css to one of your frames is pointing to a file on YOUR HD. Whilst
it will work for you locally it wont when anyone else views the site on
the web. You need to re-link the css file.

ok what am i doing wrong? The css file is being linked as the above on some
pages and as
<link href="../css/harvesthouse.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> on
others. Why is this? do I have the settings wrond somewhere?

Makes me want to stop using css all together and go back to doing it the old
html way. I know its outdated, but it still works.

ok. i think i have it right now. See if this is any better.

Thanks for the help Osgood

I dont really know what im looking for to be honest. Is the main text
meant to be that big, 36px? Aint that a bit big for the main body text?

body,td,th {
color: #004218;
font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;
font-size: 36px;
}

no thats about right. There isnt a lot of text information there.
its just a work in progress. the background colors were what the main problem was
