I am not familiar with Safari. Or Safari problems. I think you may have a layout problem that causes problems in all operating systems and browsers, even Safari. Letting the content determine the height of your page(s) will help (check your pages at 150 to 200% zoom). Absolute positioning is almost always problematic. The drop down-menu will be difficult to get to work cross-browser, and will be a usability/accessibility problem for some people. You might delete the font-resize stuff-- it is not really necessary. Consider a simple 6 category horiztonal menu such as this one: <http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal27.htm>. Those links could then point to 2-col pages that have your current drop-down items as a vertical sidebar menu-- perhaps like this<http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical02.htm>. There is a very stable 2-col, cross-browser reliable, layout on this page: <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins> Or see the layouts on the css-d wiki. you would wind up with 7 pages, each with a common h-menu, but different side bar menus. I think we share something in common. It is not so much CSS that drives us nuts. It is trying to understand and embrace the Web that challenges us most.
