Hi everybody,
I just got a MAC pro system (never had a MAC before and I love it!), but my website here (external link) does not show my colored background. It comes up white on my MAC. What do I have to do differently for my MAC? Also, hovering over the pictures on a PC brings up the captioning, but of course on my MAC it does not. Any suggestions?

Not really a help but it doesn't show in Opera or Firefox on a PC either. Works in IE and that should tell you something...

Try in your CSS :

body {background-color: #ffce7f;}

Whilst in your CSS change the A to lowercase.

For your picture captures, you have the alt="" tags, but you also need title="" tags too. I know Firefox doesn't recognize alt tags, but they do see title tags. ;)

An example:

<img alt="Click here to see my latest projects..." title="Click here to see my latest projects..." src="images/papermill_​20080608_0690.jpg" border="0" />

I would remove all of the 'border="0"' and put that in your CSS...

img {border: 0;}

The first three and the last three lines in your css file do not belong there. You've managed to comment out your whole css file...

You're also missing a doctype as the first statement in your help file, which causes IE to attempt to render the site in "quirks mode" (ie, don't stick to standards, do whatever you can to try to render the site), which can be handy when sticking to IE browsers, but other standards-based browsers aren't going to do the same thing for you.

I've got no excuse :oops:

Then again I wasn't looking for that... Should have been but it's been a long time I've had to bug check someone else's code.

Thanks, guys! But what about my background problem on the MAC pro? Remove from my CSS and add to each page??

It's not a Mac problem, it's web compliance. Which means any browser apart from IE will show this problem.

In your CSS file remove the style coding so this:

<STYLE TYPE-"type/css">

<!--
BODY {background: #ffce7f}
A:link {color: #80FF00}
A:visited {color: #FF00FF}
td {font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
-->

</STYLE>

Becomes this:

body {background-color: #ffce7f;}
a:link {color: #80FF00;}
a:visited {color: #FF00FF;}
td {font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
