Help needed with Safari CSS issues

Hi Everyone

My first post on the forum! How is everybody?

My site, neilcauldwell.com, is suffering from two issues in Safari (it looks fine in IE6/7, FF and Opera);

1. The 'Blog' page is supposed to show three 'windows' at the top for quick navigation between the main topics. However, these won't show in Safari 2 or 3 beta. Does anyone know how I fix this issue? Is it a problem with using overflow:hidden;? Is there not enough room for Safari to present all three boxes (they are packed in closely)?

2. The footer is squashed into a narrow column on the left of the screen, but only in Safari 2 (3 beta doesn't have this issue). The div#footer has been given "float:left; overflow:hidden;" attributes. I've done some reading round and it looks likes the overflow:hidden; is the source of the problems. However, if I don't float the div#footer to the left, all the elements inside the footer are rendered correctly, but the div#footer doesn't wrap all the way round the containing elements and, therefore, appears only to be around 40px in height.

If you can help solve these issues, you're a legend!

Re: Help needed with Safari CSS issues

Do you have a screenshot of the site and errors in safari?

Not everyone here uses safari and hence it will make it a little easier.

Thanks for the fast response, Rob.

Here is a screen shot from Safari 2;

The footer issue doesn't occur Safari 3. If you're on windows, you can now download Safari 3 beta, which might help you with cross-browser compatibility.

I'm a little bit wary of posting my entire CSS file on a forum (I'm still relatively new to all this) have you tried the Firebug plugin for firefox? It's pretty much the best thing ever invented (when it comes to CSS, anyway)!

Re: Help needed with Safari CSS issues

Well there is no reason to be wary. Css isn't a big secret or anything. But if you don't feel comfortable I understand.

I have firebug but don't know how to use it, so unless you want to post your code, I'm sorry I can't help you.

By not posting up your CSS, its like asking us to find a needle in the amazon rainforest.. There could be so many things that is causing this.
