[thanks Georg for your help and insight on how to approach cross-browser
issues. i've compared your example to mine and learnt a great deal on how
to simplify the layout. i feel like i've got a long, long, long way to go
before i can say i fully understand all the ins and outs of CSS, but you
certainly made me feel that with some help and feedback it is possible to
get a wee bit closer.]
yet another thing i don't understand, is why a linked style sheet would make
the 'text-indent' tag not work in IE (mac)? see:
www.thestudioformovement.com. I was using a linked style sheet and IE for
Mac was not reading the text-indent on the main content window
(rightContent). I find this very strange, because when I added the style
sheet back to the web page, it worked fine. The code is exactly the same!
Or am i just missing something here? i compared the code line by line and
it's the same. I left the other pages with the linked style sheet to
display what i mean (see classes, gallery etc...). Is there something one
needs to do when linking a style sheet, so that Mac IE won't have problems
reading some of the tags? it works fine on every other browser.
(i've not added a home link yet, so sorry about the non-user-friendly
navigation).
thanks in advance for help,
-mary

how to fix this problem would be HUGELY appreciated.
We usually solve such problems by letting the browsers adjust on their
own, so it looks alright in all browsers. That's easier than to count
and correct such differences across browser-land.
Usually that means "avoiding 'position: absolute'" for large parts of
our layouts.
[...] Apparently "Apple-chancery" or "zapf chancery" should work for
Safari because it seems to be installed on most Macs, but it doesn't work.
Am i coding this incorrectly?
A missing '}' at the end of that declaration. Some browsers will then
correctly ignore the entire declaration, while others will use what they
can.

of course any other feedback would also be very helpful and appreciated.
I found it quicker to rewrite the parts I found less good or not
working, instead of explaining how to correct them one by one. Here is
a cross-browser (win & Mac) tested example you can compare with your
existing page...

I've used floats and float-containment, and a list with anchors for
navigation. I've left the details to you.

Georg
