I created a website using Windows hosting, but people with Mac computers can't view it properly

Web address - www.raelledorfan.com. Looks perfect from all computers I%26#039;ve used except for Macs. Is there a setting I can change to make it work for all users? My hosting plan is through Godaddy.com and I used Dreamweaver to create the site. Thanks!

The possible reason would be that your site does not conform to w3c standards. Or possibly you have used tags and elements on your pages which are specific to IE/windows



You can see validation result for your index page at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3...



I have not performed any validation.



Though it is not necessary that if a site fails validation at w3.org would not render on a specific browser.



What are the browsers that you have tested your site on?



It seems to be working fine with IE and Firefox.



Rendering of website properly on any system has nothing to do with the OS. It depends on browser mainly. I guess Mac uses safari browser (not sure). Check for the compatibility of your html code for safari.

Yes, your site really doesn%26#039;t work under the Safari browser on Macs.



To be brutally honest, your source code is pretty nasty. It uses a lot of absolute positioning, tables and 鑱?amp; nbsp ; codes to align things. While that can work well, it%26#039;s often really finnicky and breaks when you try it on a different browser or operating system.



To be honest, there%26#039;s not much I can suggest other than rewriting your site%26#039;s layout code.
