show hide layers + scroll probs under Mac Nick 09-21-2004

 Hi,
I've got some browser compatibility issues with the following page:
http://www.iclc-group.com/hspv1/testi.htm
It's a straightforward show/hide layer layout with images on the left
and linked text on the right.The whole page appears in a large popup
sized to fit. The text overflow and positioning of layers does not
apparently work correctly under IE5 Mac or Safari. On PC all is OK.
Can anyone spot any horribly obvious mistakes I have made in the html?

Thanks very much

Nick

Screws up in Opera 7.54 and FireFox 1pr as well.
Looks like you've coded to some of Win IE's many bugs and all the
better browsers are punishing you for it.

Validate your code and fix all those errors then see which browsers
the problem still crops up in:

Hi,
Thanks Steve for the links.
I've tidied up as best I can:
-doc type now in place (doh!)
-style sheet cleaned up
-body attributes now in css and validates ok ( margin left=0 etc
replaced with margin, padding etc)
-table height removed
-scroll bar colours don't validate but seems OK/ignored depending on
browser
- alt tags now complete
- there is a background image for a table that doesn't validate but
should be OK...

My guess is that the margins and table height were confusing matters.
Crossing fingers for your Mac compatibility!

cheers
Nick
