I am using css on a crazy crash course for a student project. I am making a ficticious design firm with css asn SEO in mind....its all for learning and a grade of course. Thanks to the forum I have solved nearly all of my problems and my css validates.....yippie....but.......in ie5 for mac our scrolling text bar does not appear and the text runs off the page. In opera, no text is displayed. The page seems to load well in ie6 netscape 7 and firefox. I could really use some help as to why the auto scroll in a ie5 mac won't work, also if you see any other problems. I have to turn this in soonfor a school project. Thanks

Hmmm... IE5 for Mac is tricky. I don't actually have it on my computer, and I think I'm one of very few people on this forum who uses a Mac.
Try Googling (or whatever) CSS scrollbar IE5 Mac or various combinations of that-- there are a lot of known issues with the CSS rendering in, well, a lot of browsers, and tons of discussions on all kinds of forums about it. IE5 is most notably confused. If you're a member of any other webmastering/SEO forums, I know that WebmasterWorld for one has a very active CSS forum that has probably covered this issue or a similar one, if you just check their archives. (You don't have to register, necessarily, if you're not already a member there.)
There just aren't many Mac people on this forum. As far as Opera goes, I know Cre8asiteforums is rotten with Opera fanatics who could probably give you some more help on that. I don't use it myself.
Sorry I don't have time to search all these places myself, but I just thought since nobody else has answered here, i'd try to point you to some places that might have more info. Can't beat this place for SEO learning, but you know what an oppressed minority we Mac users are.

p.s. your site looks ok in Safari 2.0 for Mac but the text is a little hard to read-- black on a black-striped background. is that intentional or is my monitor poorly adjusted?

I have just about no Mac experience. Someone a couple of days ago submitted a site to a directory I run, and I could see that they were browsing the submission page on a Mac using Safari. Looking at their site in IE 6 I could see a few display problems that didn't come up when I checked it with Firefox, so I wrote back to them about it, assuming they'd designed the site themselves and hadn't tested it on a Windows box. They didn't seem to care very much

But back to your subject: I usually post my CSS questions either here or cre8, but there's a CSS forum at http://www.csscreato...forum/index.php that I've found very useful. I bet they could help you.
