[thelist] Mac CSS Format Problem

[CodeBitch]

Dear Mike,
I haven't looked at your markup in detail, but one thing to note is that you
have a DOCTYPE without a URL. This is valid, but it means that Mac IE5 will
be in quirks mode, not standards mode. That is, it will emulate IE5/Windows'
incorrect box model rendering, not the correct box model according to the
spec. Put the full DOCTYPE in and see if that works.

For more on DOCTYPE switching in Mac IE 5:

If you have found a genuine Mac IE 5 CSS bug, I'd be interested to know
about it for inclusion in my recently released MacEdition Guide to CSS Bugs
in Mac IE 5.x <http://www.macedition.com/cb/ie5macbugs/>

Hope that helps.

Regards,
CodeBitch

I have just made the jump from tables to a css layout for my personal site.
The site looks good and renders correctly on Windows under the big three,
Mozilla, IE, & Opera. It looks correct with Mac Mozilla, but the content is
shifted in Mac IE5. I'm using the mac css hack and some other css code that
might be the issue. If anyone can give me a few suggestions on how to get
this to render properly under MacIE, I would appreciate it. The site is at
www.mkelley.net and the css file is at  http://mkelley.net/css/mkcss.css

Thanks,
Mike
