listlings,

thought i'd throw this out to those that've done more mac-centric dhtml than
i have.

i'm working on the frontdoor to a site that'll be released later this week
and i've run up against an odd issue with it when viewed in mac/ie5.  there
is a green-striped bar across the middle of the design that has dhtml sub
menus below each one that popup when you mouse over the image.  on the mac
the alignment is *way* off.

in order to view the site you'll have to edit your hosts file.  you'll need
the following entry if you're on a pc:

beta.mtbachelor.com 208.205.175.252

or, the following if you're on a mac:

beta.mtbachelor.com A 208.205.175.252

anybody got any ideas about the wackiness in mac/ie5?

<tip>

want to build a site under a separate domain name, but don't have access to
have that subdomain created in dns?  if you've got an ip address that the
site is at then you can mimic this subdomain using a hosts file.
