It is not a pretty site in IE5 Mac, true. You need to do
detective work. Turn off all styles and see what is what. No
time now, but if the problem is not solved soon I will take a
closer look. I notice (something topical lately!) you have
comments in your css like
<--! particular style changes I added outside of the default
section-->
This is not right. Use /* blah blah */
Put "" around your things in your html like the "750" in your
"width=750" and put height for images as well as width and stop
leaving out the "; at the end of things as in your
H1 { font-size: x-large }
H2 { font-size: large }
H3 { font-size: normal }
And this alone will muck up a lot of css implementation, so fix
/all this stuff/ you can up first... Get a tute on CSS and
attend to the simple things of the language at least.
