IE Mac No Like Me
The word on the street is that this page looks like an abstract artistic statement on IE 5 Mac. I’m not sure, but I’m assuming this because I’m using full XHTML and CSS rather than tables for layout. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Mac nearby, so I’m pretty much helpless to diagnose and fix the problem, whatever it may be. If anyone has a Mac and is willing to give me a tip on what’s breaking my page, that would be great. In the meantime, I can only suggest using a browser that was built for the standards, not for the masses.

Thanks to Karen Jaske for the Mac screenshots.
The behavior of IE 5 on OSX seems quite strange because it formats entries differently even though the same style is applied to all entries. Since it displays fine in IE 6 and Netscape 6 on PC, I’m going to assume it’s a bug and hope that it’s fixed in next version of IE for Mac.

I think if Mac users spent less time arguing their case of how Macs are supposedly better, and more time attempting to solve the real issues (like high hardware prices), their market share might actually go up.
someone once called the mac/pc war like ohio state/michigan. ohio state talks a lot of shit but michigan just kind of ignores the whole thing.

Ie Mac is not so buggy… sometimes developers do poor css code… and really bad…
This site on mac looks like 90px wide. that’s maybe cause you failed on positioning correctly your divs.
I did my website entirely with css… and i have a few buggy situations on Opera Mac, and other non-standard css 1, css 2 browsers… but that’s not my fault … so i don’t care…
good luck for you on debuggin. :)
