Mac Display Problems

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I recently converted a large site to Mambo. It has come to my
attention that Mac users (IE and Firefox browsers) cannot view the
content of the site, though they can view the navigation. Having only
Linux and Windows systems available, I cannot test and troubleshoot
the site to fix.

The CSS validates (with lots of warnings) and there are only a couple
small HTML validation problems. There are no JS errors. However, I
have the feeling it is CSS and all of those px font styles that the
anal-compulsive site owner moreless demands.

Any ideas (other than going out and buying a Mac)?

TIA!

Not true, see my answer at alt.html.

I add here that it even displays on Mac IE 5 (but you should not
be worrying about Mac IE as it is quite unsupported and not
developed beyond version 5 and hardly any Mac folks use it these
days)

IE hasn't been available on Macintosh for years, and it displays (for a
low value of display) with Opera and Safari. The font sizes means it
gets unreadable as soon as you zoom so you can read it.

Firefox 1.5 (not current version) can't show the contents, until you
disable either the linked style sheet or the inline styles. Check your
inline styles first.

The content shows in Safari 1.3, FF2 on Linux and Mac and doz, but not in FF
on OS/2 if I have the minimum font size disabled by the Web Developer
extension. :-p

Get rid of the sizes in px, at least for text and container sizes.

Minimum makes a complete mess out of your menu/nav links attempting to get
sizes compatible with my 20px OS/2 default and my 24px Linux default.
