Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm with James on the Explorer issue. MS dropped support for Mac IE in Jan 06. You need to have Mac OS X 10.2.8 installed to use Safari so check you've got that update. (  Apple Menu > Sofwtare Update... ).
I too keep a copy of Firefox for those times that Safari isn't compatible but that is literally only 4/5 websites that I've found.
Other web browsers are available: see the items listed in red at this link.

Different font sizes in Explorer and Safari

Hi there, before I go completely nuts can someone give me a
hand with figuring out how I can get my plain old body text to
display at the same size in both Explorer and Safari.
I am using a Mac myself, but when entering text at size 1, it
is displaying larger in Explorer (at about the size I want) and
very small in Safari (too small to be easily readable). I have done
some research and thought cascading style sheets might be the way
to go but I have also read that the some text problems occur when
using cascading style sheets.
I haven't bothered with them previously as there hasn't been
that much text to bother with them.
Has anyone got any tips, or has used CSS to fix this problem?
Regards,
Elle V
p.s. if you are using a mac, you can check out what I mean by
viewing www.homestylefinance.com.au/company.html in both browsers.
I would be interested in hearing from a PC user to see if they are
seeing the same thing.

You can define your text sizes in many different ways:
points, pixels, em,
percentages, etc.
I personally use a percentage to define my base font-size in
my style sheet,
and then declare different text sizes in em's for different
selectors. I'd
stay away from points (which it sounds like you're using them
- due to the
fact that cross-browser display varies). I'd also stay away
from pixels,
because IE users can not resize their browser text size.
My personal suggestion would be to use em's to declare your
font sizes. Here
is an example of something you could put in your CSS document
(which you'll
want to start using):
body { font-size: 100%; }
.text1 { font-size: .75em }
HTH, take care.

All styling gone in Internet Explorer AND Safari

Hi everyone .. well I have had my fair share of internet explorer hell but this one is really weird. When I view site http://kimberleywebdesign.com.au/Links.html in firefox .. the site looks how its supposed to look but when I view it in Internet Explorer or Safari, it looks like its lost its style sheet.
If anyone has had this problem and more importantly knows how to fix it, HELP!!

The answer is here -

          <script type="text/javascript">
<!--               swfobject.registerObject("slideshow", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
          </script>
First, all of your HTML comments are improperly formed - there needs to be a space between the last dash of <!-- and the next character, e.g.,
<!-- <script
Next, you have a spurious opening comment tag without a closing one. IE thinks that the rest of the head content is a comment, hence the loss of CSS. Remove that opening comment group and you'll be fine. Mostly....

Problems with modalPanel in Internet Explorer and Safari

Hello there,
I am working on a JSF (Richfaces) application. To handle advanced searches and confirm boxes I am using the richfaces modalPanel dialog, which uses Ajax. There are a number of re-rendering problems.
1. First of all, any errors won't display in any browser (including Firefox). From what I can tell it has to do with it refreshing the page before the error message can be displayed in <h:messages />.
2. In Safari and IE there is no refresh for advanced search dialog, where the modalPanel shows, but does not seem to call the search action and rerender the list. It's almost as if it does nothing. In IE it closes the dialog, but does nothing. In Safari it doesn't even close the dialog. I'm assuming this is relating to the JavaScript the RichFaces library uses. Any ideas??? I'm nervous to change frameworks at this time since I am in the last leg of the project.
Here's a code example of the advanced search, which does not refresh the list screen.
Code:
<rich:modalPanel id="advancedSearch" width="220" height="420">
             <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="#{msgs.advancedSearch}" />
             </f:facet>
             <f:facet name="controls">
                     <h:graphicImage value="/images/btn_logout.gif" width="15" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('advancedSearch')" />
             </f:facet>
               <h:form>
                    <a4j:commandLink action="bookList" reRender="bookList"   oncomplete="{Richfaces.hideModalPanel('advancedSearch');}" >
                         <h:graphicImage class="searchIcon" id="advSearchGraphc" value="/images/btn_search_UP.gif" alt="#{msgs.search}" />
                    </a4j:commandLink>
               </h:form>
         </rich:modalPanel>     As you can see I am calling reRender="bookList" which is the id of the datatable. From what I can tell the problem is something to do with the javascript not running properly on IE and Safari.
<rich:dataTable width="644" id="bookList" rows="12" value="#{Book.list}" var="book">     How can I get around this?
Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.
Jared

I suggest you to post your question in the JBoss RichFaces forum, good luck!

Links no longer work when I try to use Etsy in Firefox, but work fine in Explorer and Safari.

Until fairly recently, I had no trouble using Etsy in Firefox, but after the last update, I noticed that the site stopped working. I cannot click on any links, even the one that would allow me to log in. I originally thought the issue might be that I have OS X 10.5.8 on my computer, so the newest upgrade is not compatible, but I use a computer with Windows 7 at work and am having the same problem. Etsy works fine in both Explorer (at work) and in Safari (at home).

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
(WIN) Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.<br>
(MAC) Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
(WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced<br>
(MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
(WIN) right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"<br>
(ANY) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If that doesn't make any difference, perhaps an add-on is at fault? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

Internet explorer and Safari

I cannot get on the internet using either IE or safari. I get this message " The application explorer has unexpectedly quit" same for Safari.
Please help
Darly

Darly,
First thing to try is to fix permissions. Go to Applications : Utilities and run Disk Utility (it may be called something else in 10.2, can't recall, but it will have Disk in the name). Then select your OS X volume and click "repair permissions" toward the bottom of the screen.
You should also restart the computer while holding down the command-S keys. When the stuff stops scrolling on the screen, enter
/sbin/fsck -yf
to repair your hard disk.
If it finds errors, run fsck again (enter the same thing as above) until it says the hard disk is OK. Then enter
reboot
to restart OS X.
If those two things don't fix it, then you have a serious problem and may have to reinstall the OS.

Recently firefox loads LinkedIn home page as text only. Was no problem before I installed latest version and the page loads fine in Explorer and Safari.

See image.

Thank you for the screenshot. Something is preventing the style from loading.
There is an option in page permissions I would check first:
# Right click on the page and select "Page Info"
# Under Media make sure "Block Images from..." is not checked
Then check out: [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
Mainly I would focus on the cache, as the cached page might be corrupt. To clear any corrupt pages it is possible to forget the site from the about:permissions page -> this is not recoverable.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).

Where a Â symbol is prefixed to a currency symbol, in this case £, Explorer and Safari do not display the Â but Firefox does, is there a workaround or what is correct?

Seems to be any page with these characters.

This happens when the website is viewed with the wrong character encoding.
Try view > Character encoding > UTF8 (or some others)

Looks like a mess of repeated background images to me.
To use a non-repeating background image, put the following CSS code between the
<style type="text/css"> and </style> tags in your HTML page.
body {
width: 1000px; /**choose your own page width in px**/
margin:0 auto;/**this centers page in modern browsers**/
text-align: center; /**this centers page in old browsers**/
background: red url(Images/Home-Page.png) no-repeat top middle;
Then remove the Home-Page.png background from your table.

Flash Movie has problems in IE and Safari

Hi, my website's home page works like a charm in FireFox and
uses flashplayer to play, yet, in Internet Explorer and Safari, it
uses Shockwave to play everything. And at that, Shockwave doesn't
play it!
Will someone please check in one of these two browsers on
their computer to check whether it works for them?

Here's the source for that page, note that the codebase url
has two http's in it. Might fix that and see if it helps.

Pictures overlapping in IE and Safari!

I created a website with IWeb 08'.
Everything looks fine when it is displayed in Firefox but the pictures overlapped in Internet Explorer and Safari;what's the cause?

One your BEETHOVEN and BORDEAUX pages embed the photos in the text box itself so when the text box moves the photo move also. That will prevent the overlap you're seeing on those two page. My tutorial site is created that way: http://toadstutorials.info. On those pages I just added the photo to one line and set the justification for that line to center with the Inspector/Text/Text pane.
This demo page illustrates adding images to a text box and then using the text wraparound feature: Photos and Shapes in Text Box with Wraparound.

WVC54GCA camera can't see video on Internet Explorer but can on Chrome and Safari

I installed the camera, and I can see the video on Chrome and Safari, but not on Internet explorer Version 8. I can see the screen where the video would go, including the headings, but there's just a red "x" in the upper left hand corner.

To View your Camera on your Computer using IE, you need to Enable ActiveX Control on your Computer for your IE... Open IE on your Computer and Click on Tools and Internet Options.... Then click on the Security tab and select "Internet" and below you need to click on "Custom Level" and under that you will Find "ActiveX " and you need to Enable all the Features of ActiveX and click on Ok...
Once Done now you can try to access your camera setup page and when you click on View Video, it will prompt you to Install Linksyscam.cab File, you need to install that File .. Once done you will be able to View your Camera..

CSS layout problems in Explorer (fine in Firefox and Safari)

Firstly apologies to the mods, I had mistakenly posted this
in the dynamic section also...
My problem - I am working on a CSS site (my first!) here
http://www.benfrain.com
It appears fine in Firefox (PC and Mac) and Safari (mac) but
when I view it in Explorer for Mac (5.2.3) I get a over long page
and I get no auto margin on the left.
Another small curiosity - I have noticed that my background
image on my div id "header" seems to start off again on the right.
Again, Explorer 5.2 for mac only...
My html and css both validate.
Anybody know why this is happening?

Have you tried increasing the text size?
Do you mean in the browser? I just tried it in Firefox and
after two increases the layout/style of the page kind of 'falls
apart' - how would this be rectified?
