Links not working on a Mac

M

Melinda

I have developed a website www.lucyblake.com which appears to run fine on all PC's, however the links on the main page are not clicking through on mac computers. I was told by my isp that I would need to re program the site in Dreamweaver and that it was an easy fix. I found this very hard to believe and if anyone can help me to do this without redoing the site in a program I don't know, I would really really appreciate it and love you forever

Cheers

Mel.

You are using styles and absolute positioning. MAC and others don't like
it.

However it was that told you you needed
DreamWeaver is an idiot.

That said,

I wouldn't concern myself with the Mac users, as
I don't believe they are the type that would be
"clicking your links" anyway.

Mel,
Kind of a lazy response from your ISP. Part of the problem that I
can see is your site is using things that will only work in the very latest
versions of IE, which aren't available on the Mac. The way you've drawn the
links is using VML (vector markup language) which isn't a very happy thing
for Macs and some non-IE browsers. Your best bet is to change your page
compatibility through the Tools | Page Options | Compatibility and set it to
Netscape Navigator and IE. Navigator tends to cut down the features a bit,
but also better ensures that only features that weren't made specifically
for IE are eliminated. You can then give the links another shot. Changing
the links won't fix things for you, but it will let you re-design them with
less problems. There's a script that can change the background of a table
cell (in IE only) at
http://javascript.internet.com/bgeffects/cell-bg-changer.html.

Hope this helps,
