You are relative-positioning those links inside an absolute-positioned
ul. That's not stable enough.
I tested the following on your page:
#nav li, #nav li a {position: absolute; /* was relative */}
#nav #login {top: 54px;left: 69px;width: 60px;}
#nav #home {left: 37px;top: 87px;}
#nav #graphic {top: 130px;}
#nav #video {top: 174px;left: 15px;}
#nav #cdrom {top: 217px;left: 62px;}
#nav #photo {top: 256px;left: 85px;}
#nav #web {top: 287px;left: 131px;}
#nav #branding {top: 323px;left: 178px;}
#nav #contact { top: 374px;left: 250px;}
Opera, Firefox and IE6 landed on the same positions, regardless of
font-size and other variables. Just changed the top-values, and left the
finetuning to you.
I wouldn't be surprised if IE/Mac and Safari got it right also on these
values, but I can't test that.

Re: [WSG] Site check please (especially Mac)
Thanks. I'll pass those suggestions on to her, since the design is hers (I'm deliberately making this one "not my problem" - I have enough problems getting this site up and running...). Anyone have any more suggestions about what to do about the glitching positioning in Mac browsers? I'm at a total loss. Cheers, Seona.

Re: [WSG] Site check please (especially Mac)
Maybe add a slight outline/glow/etc effect to the menu items as they don't stand out too well, especially when hovering. Also find a way of reducing image size that doesn't result in noticeable grain.

Hmm... Any suggestions about how I could better do it so that it stays put? I would have thought that absolute positioning with the coordinates given in px would have been fairly static. :( I'm not sure what else to try. Thanks for the compliment though. This is why I like working with a trained graphic designer - she comes up with designs I'd never even dream of. Conversely, it's why I don't like working with a trained graphic designer - she comes up with designs that are a cow to build to. ;) Cheers, Seona. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Gunlaug Sørtun > Sent: Thursday, 2 December 2004 9:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WSG] Site check please (especially Mac) > > > Seona Bellamy wrote: > > > Any PC users who want to look and give opinions would also be > appreciated. > > :) > > > > The site: http://www.onehouseproductions.com/ohp2/ > > You should try a better positioning-method for that curved menu. > The items leave the curved background-image and ends up all over the > place upon font-resizing in Opera, Firefox and IE6. > > It looks really nice when everything is in place though. > > Georg > > ** > The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > ** > > > --- > Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.802 / Virus Database: 545 - Release Date: 26/11/2004 > __ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Later for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [WSG] Site check please (especially Mac)
I see problems in both. In Safari 1.2.3, the navigation buttons separate (seeming to move progressively to the right), leaving funny white shapes where there should be a smooth grey curve. In IE 5.2, the footer is in the middle of the page, overlaying "One House Productions - is..." Looks good to me in Firefox 1.0. I'd love to make suggestions, but that will have to go to others more advanced in CSS than I.

[WSG] Site check please (especially Mac)
Hi guys, Could I please have a few Mac users (both IE and Safari) have a look at this page and tell me if it's working right? My friend has looked at it on her Mac and reported a few problems, but since her computer's been playing up lately I want to check that there is actually a problem and not just her system being weird. If you do see anything odd or not working, can you please have a peep at the code and let me know what's causing it?
