I created this site for a friend:  
[http://www.seadreaminc.com](http://www.seadreaminc.com)

I don’t own a mac, but when viewed on a mac I am told the tables appear broken and its not all nice as it is on a pc. No page is really that viewable on a mac. Why is that? I know there may be some font css issues between mac and pc, and I might have to change my css code to accomodate a mac, but why the table tags appearing broken, choppy? I used the usual TD, TR, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Safari, Mozilla, and Netscape seem to mess up pages.

as I’ve said before, typically this is because the site is using broken IE-only code, or tables for layout, which is (IMO) incorrect.

if Mozilla messes it up, it’s 99.9% likely that the page is wrong, or that the w3c recommendations take no stand on what is right/wrong.
