Default Problem viewing created site on Mac - 07-12-2004 , 01:00 PM






I created a site and FTP to the server; with Windows IE and Netscape it looks
fine. However, when I view the site from a Mac with IE the table that holds my
Fireworks rollover buttons is not centered (as it should be) but appears to the
far right side of the screen. The html indicates a centered table, so I have
no idea what to do to fix this so it looks good on a Mac.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

It would only be possible if I could see your page and the underlying code.
What is the URI?

You might want to assign a background color to the page - not all browsers
will use White.

The only browser I see the alignment problem with is Safari 1.0.2 - MacIE5
looks fine.

If it were me, I'd fix the doctype on the page to a valid loose standards
one, and I'd add the following CSS -

body { text-align:center; }
#wrapper { text-align:left; }

Then I'd add <div id="wrapper"> after the <body> tag, and </div> before the
</body> tag.

Thanks for your input.

I went to the Apple store and used one of their computers to view the site
(G5), and I selected IE as the browser.So if it looks fine to you I'm a little
mystified. However, I am pleased that you didn't have a problem viewing it
correctly. Maybe I'll chat with one of the Apple people in the store and tell
them what you viewed.

And thanks for the tips--I'll add them to the site. I appreciate your
assistance!
