   Hey people, I've downloaded Safari a few minutes ago. And now I see I have a problem I have never noticed before (because I use windows vista)
   My blog gets all messed up if you see it in Safari, But it works (almost) fine when you use it with internet explorer.

   Here is some info:
   http://moviecrew.nl/wordpress/ (my blog, must be viewed in Safari to see the problem)

   http://test.wpthemesfree.com/?preview_theme=gamers-theme (the original blog, works great in safari and Internet explorer)

   Does somebody know how to solve this?

   Thanks,

   Stijn Jasper

   you should not bump, in just 4 hours, wait for at-least 10, people go through the forum answering questions all the time, wait for your turn,

   ohh i see what you mean, how about validate your code,

   css
   http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmoviecrew.nl%2Fwordpress%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en

   xhtml
   http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmoviecrew.nl%2Fwordpress%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

   Well, to be honest. I´m not a star in xhtml. I don´t know how to validate the code. Do you think someone can help me with that? Or is there a place where I can learn that? I really want to learn it too. But I think the problems need to be solved as soon as possible. Because I want my viewers to see my website just fine.

   Sorry for the double post btw, I will not do it again :)

   here is a simple question , why do you want to change the theme, the preview ones looks fine to me, and did you make the theme, or did you find it

   you have to validate and see what is wrong with your code, the validate pages show that you have errors both in you css and in your xhtml
   so you have to go error by error and fix them

   I do not want to change the theme. But the theme gets messed up when I use it with a Macbook. and with Windows it works (almost) fine.

   But, Is there a site that teaches you how to validate and fix those errors?

   Thanks for helping :D

   that hard to say, do you really want to learn css and php and html, if yes than there are thousands of sites that teach you them, just google css, and php

   and teh funny thing is, safari usually opens all sites correct because its a more modern and accepts almost all the new css standards, where as IE does not accept many css standers and you need IE hacks in your style sheets to keep things correct

   but teh validation sites show all kinds of errors, and i just can;t say what you need to learn to fix them, tho you can zip the theme folder and send it to me at info@vitamovie.com and i will try the theme and see what i can do

    I just had Safari downloaded to my system. I have found strange things with this software. I have a Quicktime video on my homepage. My HTML code has the loop parameter set to True. In Internet Explorer the quicktime video will loop. In Safari, it stops after one pass. Since Apple makes both quicktime and Safari, the problem is in Safari. I use the basic fonts, Times New Roman, Veranda, and Arial to try and keep my pages capatiable across systems. Safari does not have the same fonts format as IE. the line, table, or whatever is not the same. I also noticed that some header info on my home page looks fine, but when I go to another page on my site, it does not display correctly (same code) within Safari but it works fine in IE.

    In reference to the comment that Safari is more modern (just recently released) and therefore works correctly and better. In the USA we say BS to that statement. I decided to try another browser to see how it compared. Netscape is not longer supported because AOL merged with them. However, you can go to the Netscape page looking for older versions and download the last version that they created. Guess what, Netscape and Safari behave the same for what I was testing. Could it be that someone copied the Netscape code and now call it Safari? Netscape is old code.
