Following a site check (thanks everyone), it transpires that the site:

causes a browser crash on the Apple Mac (reported specifically on IE
5.2.3, but I'm now concerned about other mac browsers.)
The CSS is at:
http://www.freshclickmedia.com/previews/endo/css/endo.css (default
stylesheet)
First, don't worry about other Mac browsers. They work fine on your
site, and Mac IE is known to be quite quirky by today's standards.
Second, you have made extensive use of the "inherit" keyword. As you
can read about here <http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/misc/#crash>, Mac
IE does not like that keyword. As an experiment, I simply searched
for and commented out all instances of that keyword and your site
worked just fine.
I expect you are using all those inherits in order to placate
validator warnings about color and background-color. If so, I would
suggest simply ignoring the validator. You still have valid code,
and all your backgrounds are working just fine at any zoom level that
doesn't cause element overlap (which for me occurs at 300%). A
warning means something could go wrong that can't be mechanically
checked. If a human check shows everything is fine, the warnings can
be safely ignored.
If there is some other reason for having all those inherits in there,
hopefully Phillipe's pages will suggest some useful workarounds.
