I've used the following code within a page and for reasons not understood by me, the layer in question renders larger on a mac than it does on a pc. In doing so the layer ends up covering parts of the navigation, and the background image is tiled. To view the page in question please go to http://www.dvdj.co.uk/bareivisa

Here is the code in question

<div id="lcd" style="position:absolute; left:617px; top:57px; width:258px; height:122px; z-index:15; background-image: url(images/lcdfront.jpg); layer-background-image: url(images/lcdfront.jpg); border: 1px none #000000;">This
is where you control your <br>
Liquid Crystal Display Text</div>

Many thanks

Couldn't tell; could it again be a margin / padding problem? How much bigger does it get? Can anybody who actually uses a Mac help out?!!

By the way: there's no such property as "layer-background-image"; get rid of it. It doesn't do anything and may trip up some or another browser.

It's your position CSS tags which cause the problems.

Oy, it's not just a mac problem, it's a Mozilla problem as well.

Not a mac issue -- it's a browser issue. Here's some Mac Safari, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, and IE (which we never use, by the way) screenshots for you.

I'm still looking into this, but I wanted to post it up -- your ticker at the bottom changes too.

bradyj, most people on OS 9 still use IE...

Really? I always used the last unofficial Mozilla for that one:

...or opera 6.5.

And all my OS 9 co-workers and prepress guys at other firms don't like it. Still, you can't code for that browser, it's way off.
