Nice site. Shows how (in creative hands) PHPWCMS can really 'break out of the box' compared to many other CMS solutions.

the iframes that are not supposed to scroll are too small. With Firefox you get ugly scroll bars on them. Otherwise nice site.

True. Sadly the site doesn't work using IE in OSX either.

IE is the worest choice u can make. the site is styled in DIV layer. and IE cant interpret this css style.
IE is dead. M$ would not do anything on the sourcecode for future releases.
u not like safari? try firefox. the best choice on any system.

My company designs websites predominantly using CSS positioning. We ensure ALL of them work in IE, Netscape and Firefox on the Mac and the PC. As a matter of course, all designs are also tested in Lynx - the text browser. We'll make a site work in Opera too if specifically requested. In fact Opera has gained significance recently due to it's popularity on mobile devices.

We don't claim compatibility with level 4 browsers now, but knowing how to please them is still important. The Web-TV browser in an NTL digibox is a slimmed down version of Netscape 3!

You just need to test things thoroughly.

crap!
I don't have a Mac here that I can test with..
going to have to get one.

can you give me an idea what you think may cause this problem on IE mac?

I would appreciate any starting point you could provide?

I'll take a look as soon as I can. What TAOG says is not wrong - IE on the Mac can present problems with some CSS layouts. However, because I can't get past the first page, I suspect it could just be an issue with the image map, or the setup of the site's frames.

Good news is, the site functions in Safari (the default OSX browser) and Firefox on OSX, and Netscape 6.2 on OS9 so Mac users can see the site.

However, I personally wouldn't like to stand up in a board meeting and announce to a client that their site doesn't work on IE... but not to worry, because IE is crap anyway!

Definitely get a Mac, even if you get a second-hand one that runs OSX browsers, just for testing.

I took a closer look at the site as promised, but admit it is difficult to know what the exact issue is. You appear to have tables - within multiple nested DIVs - within a frameset. I suspect IE is probably having a problem with that. However, even though it works in other browsers, the layout does seem very complex (or perhaps ingenious!).

I can't see the need for frames on index.htm at all. The whole graphic could just have a simple click-link to index.php. From index.php onwards, my only recommendation would be the same as always. Create a page layout of the type 'none - from template main section' and create the entire page template for each category using DIVs in the 'main' section of the template edit screen. You could create the most complex layouts imaginable this way, without the need for frames.

Of course, if you have already done that... then I haven't a clue what's wrong.
