Major problems on Mac Safari & IE

Hey there,

Just finished building a site at: http://www.fromefestival.co.uk

Thought all was well - checked and optimised and compliant and looking just dandy on a PC - BUT then I saw the Events pages on a MAC Safari and IE5.2 - EEk!

See e.g:
http://www.fromefestival.co.uk/2006/events/070706.html

Something strange afoot - In Safari you can see event titles, but the paragraph descriptive text is all squished into one pixel on the left, and in IE you can ONLY see the titles.

The tag with the problem seems to be:
#eventitems p.description
{
padding: 3px;
font-size: 0.75em;
border-bottom: 2px solid #CC3333;
overflow:hidden;
clear:both;
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
- but just can't figure what is causing it??

FYI If you are on a PC you can see the problem in Safari at http://www.snugtech.com/safaritest/ - just copy in domain above.

Hoping someone can advise.

ps

Tried using the safari test site and the page you mentioned but it seems to appear correctly, could you maybe post a screenshot of the output you are getting?

Re: Major problems on Mac Safari & IE

IE 5.2 isnt supported anymore by Microsoft, its so old and most sites seem broken, I wouldnt worry about it.
There comes a point where people should upgrade.
