CSS displaying differently on MACs

Hello:

Is there anything that can be done about CSS displaying page layouts differently on a MAC than on a PC? I've done a few sites where it looks great on a PC, but looking at it on the MAC, it usually has a DIV out of place somewhere. The thing that confuses me is the CSS and HTML are both valid according to W3C, so shouldn't that mean it's interoperable?

If anyone can offer some insight into why they do appear differently on a MAC, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

CSS, if constructed carefully, will work the same on most browsers. Post your code (CSS and HTML), and we'll see if we can see why yours isn't cross-browser.

Also, please state which browsers are you using to check your code. I am pretty sure Mozilla for PC and Safari for Mac will show the same results, at least for me they always do. CSS support still leaves something to be desired in certain browsers and hacks (or very precise scripting) has to be involved to fix it. Like dan said, post your code or give us a link to the page. If you want to check your page on Safari, here's the [link=http://www.danvine.com/icapture/]Safari Window Page[/url].
