   The site looks fine on Firefox, is a LITTLE bit messed up in Internet Explorer (some social bookmarking buttons don't show and the header isn't fully clickable) but in Safari the whole thing is just JACKED up!

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Here's my site.

   As of my reply, there are 123 errors (that's so you can chart your progress as you fix them).

   it could be problems with display:table or display:block.
   you should read about display property, and it could be the defualt margin and padding that browsers set.

   you could put this on your css file to reset the margin and padding that browsers set by default.

   *{margin:0;padding;0;border:none;}

   (sorry if you already know about this)

   Whoa! so many errors! I know NOTHING about css and next to nothing about html. i just started messing with this stuff yesterday hahah!

   for the *{margin:0;padding;0;border:none;} do I also type the "*"? sorry for a dumb question. I seriously don't know ANYTHING. oh, and where do i put it at? in the stylesheet?

   thanks for the advice so far.

   Hi brownkidd,
   At the very top of your stylesheet you would add this:
   

   * { margin:0;
        padding:0; }

   You mat also want to provide a link to the site you are creating, this should any member of the community when pointing you towards a solution.

   Hope this helps,
   Chet

   Okay, i did the margin/padding thing. Still looks weird in safari. The header won't show up and it's displaying sutff that i set to display:none so idunno what the deal is.

   Hi,
   I was just looking at your site in Safari however, it looks to be appearing okay. I'm using a mac and compared Firefox, Safari and IE7 (using parallels). Nothing that I see appears to be glaringly different.

    Okay, just checked on two different computers and it's messed up on both. Any tips?

    the problem could be in the xhtml and/or at your css structure, so the browser could not load your site ok at certain conditions like (slow net connection, or when are many tabs opened in the browser you're using).

    most of the time this kind of the problem it's related with bad xhtml and css, with no ofense, it happens to me too some times and I almost get crazy.
