site messed up on mac

#1

The website I am working on looks great on a PC. But, on a Mac it is messed up.
In internet explorer the drop down menus do not work properly, and in Safari,
the background image on a table cell does not show up. Can anyone offer
suggestions or help as to why this is happening. The temp link is this:

Thanks,

Andy

This page is using the DW/FW pop-up menus.

Note that ~50% of the total code on the page is devoted to menu specific
stuff. This is true for EACH page, and therefore will cause a delay
downloading the same code over and over. This is one of the reasons to hate
these menus. There are more.

<td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000066"> <script
language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>

You have inserted the menus into your DW page improperly, causing this
javascript call to be inserted into a table cell. In effect, this causes
'layers' (which are what makes your menus 'pop') to be built in a table
cell, the #1 reason that 'sites look bad on the Mac'. Please change that
line from what you see above to this -

<td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000066">

and then change this -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000066" link="#000066" vlink="#000066"
alink="#000066">

to this -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000066" link="#000066" vlink="#000066"
alink="#000066">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>

to get the page back in shape.

Before doing too much work, however, you need to read this carefully -

Answer to your other problem is clear the 100% height values in the two
<td> cells that your background images are inserted into.
