CSS Style Problem in some browsers

Question

I’m Using Dreamweaver Studio 8.0. on the PC.
Some of my CSS Styles info does not work in some browsers.
The “main_content” section of my site does not
display properly in some browsers.
Here is the CSS code:
#main_content {
position:absolute;
left:134px;
top:180px;
width:651px;
height:597px;
z-index:6;
border-top-width: medium;
border-right-width: medium;
border-bottom-width: medium;
border-left-width: medium;
border-left-style: none;
border-top-color: #0000CC;
border-right-color: #0000CC;
border-bottom-color: #0000CC;
border-left-color: #0000CC;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: none;
It works fine in FireFox 1.5 and Netscape 8. But in IE 6.0.2
and Safari 2.0.3 the main content section:
1. moves to the far left of the page (behind a left side
image border)
2. loses its width restriction and fills to the right
whatever size monitor display it is on
3. loses the solid right border of this section
The “.copyright” info also does not display
properly
.copyright {
font-size: 9px;
background-color: #666666;
color: #FFFFFF;
Again, it works fine in FireFox 1.5 and Netscape 8. But in IE
6.0.2 and Safari 2.0.3 the copyright section:
1. does not change to the smaller font
2. does not change font color
3. has no background color
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
David

Here's something you need to know:
There is no significant difference in the way that these
browsers render
valid CSS on pages with valid doctypes. Please post a link to
your page so
we can get at the bottom of this, and keep you from careering
off the cliff
edge that you are now teetering on! 8)
