I have two instances where my css file settings are ignored. The text
in Safari is hard on the left side of the browser page, here is one example:
http://opensourcetoday.org/articles/HowTo/HowTo-Coding-Borders.html
Using Firefox on the Mac, LInux, Windows and using IE under XP the text
is moved away form the edge. Essentially this code works for those
browsers, but is ignored by Safari:
#left-central-col {
padding-left: 0.7%;
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 74%;
height: auto;
background-color: #FDFFFF;
...
I have since encountered a second problem on our front page where
extended borders to match within a footer div I created with supposedly
matching floating div regions. Again the key seems to be my use of
percentage values, this time for width settings. I have attached an
image I copies from a MacBook Pro running the Tiger OS that shows the
miss match of the borders in our footer region.
In this case, I deactivated my attempt to use padding, however, in all
three floats I inserted percentage values for the widths in the three
div regions. They work as far as the border placement for the above
named OS / browser combinations we have tested, except Safari. [I am
having other problems only with the right div area, that I think is
unrelated.]
Does Safari support percentage values? Am I doing something incorrect
that makes Safari ignore my settings in the css file? My attempts to
find confirmation or others seeing this problems have so far failed. If
this problem is known, what are the suggested work arounds? [I know it
works with pixels, but I am trying to create flexible sized pages that
fit the users' wants and percentage settings are the most natural in my
hands.]
I wish to give my thanks in advance to anyone that can enlighten me as
how I can make Safari work.
