HTML for MAC

[usp004]

I have written an ASP application and seem to be running into problems when using the app from a MAC pc. The table layouts have a little different look and feel and a checkbox isn't functioning properly.

Has anyone had these types of problems and knows how to remedy them. I am unfamiliar with the MAC world and would appreciate some advice.

Thanks

you got a code sniplet or what not? also last time I checked most browsers used on a MAC arn't W3 compliant.

Here is some sample code. The table layout looks a little different on the MAC and the checkbox doesn't work properly. I appreciate your help.

well on the checkbox if you are going to use javascript prefix your string with &quot;javascript:...rest of it....&quot;

I wasn't planning on it... do I have to?

Also... it seems that in my HTML Tables I use the sep.gif with a width=&quot;1&quot; ...... on the MAC version of IE that cell has a much bigger width than 1 (probably b/c the entire table has a width=&quot;100%&quot;... but it doesn't do that in IE or NS on the PC??

it is common pratice to prefix your command strings with the language you are using, also some browsers suck as ol' picky netscape, will ignore numerous commands if they dont follow a strict namming convention, MAC browsers and variety might be exactly the same way.

also as far as pixel formats go, I take it you have only worked with Windows, and not even linux, or any other PC-based OSes, chances are they'll be quite a couple things that'll look different, but I Can understand if you mean it doesnt work at all, also far as the width= goes, some browsers dont like numerals in &quot;&quot; , some wont take %, others require you to type in &quot;1px&quot; (px meaning pixels)
