Graphics displaying over text for mac and netscape users

[Kirk]

We have designed a web site that works perfect for IE 5.5
users and above, however mac IE users and Netscape users
experience missing graphics, and graphics that overlap or
hide text on pages, even though the graphic has been set
at an absolute position far outside of the text. Why is
this? How does one publish a site compatible with all
these browsers?

Welcome to the joy of cross browser / platform compatibility

Mac and NN treat absolute positioning and layers differently from IE
- you safest layout is to use html tables and no CSS2

Hi Kirk,

Mac IE and Netscape use different arrangement for CSS2. You're best bet is
to not use CSS if you require full cross browser compatibility.
