MAC's and websites [resolved]

I have gotten access to a Mac machine and tried to look at my site, and boy was it all messed up. I have frames on my site, css, and several javascripts running. What are the limitations of Mac machines? What can I do to have everything work as it does on a windows machine?

Any insite would be greatly appreciated.

I think the browser is the issue here, not the machine.

I have absolutely no expierence with mac's and in fact it was the first time that I actually used one. What browsers are used on mac's? What can I do to better track down this issue?

Try this: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

Surely you noticed what browser you were using when you used it :/

New Macs come with Safari, which is actaully a rather decent browser. It runs off a patched version of the KHTML rendering engine. There is also Firefox for Mac, Camino (also uses Gecko but with a different UI), and of course IE/Mac which is just as bad as IE/Win.

If your site looks messed up in these browsers (excluding IE) I'd say that it is a fault with your code. So, try and develop the site in a more standards-compliant browser (I guess you use Windows, so that would mean something like Firefox or Opera) and then, if you must, get it to work in IE afterwards.

Come to think of it I think it was Safari. I always use Firefox personally and usually if the code works in firefox then it should work in IE and others.

That's usually true, as long as you do not use any newer CSS rules or anything it should also work in IE.

Safari's standards support is on a par with Firefox, so if you can get it to work in Firefox first then hack it a bit to work in Safari it should be good.

Many of us don't have both platforms available so it makes it a bit hard but if you still have access to the Mac make the best of it.

Thanks for the advice guys.
