Mac IE 5 and IE 7 issues
In Mac IE 5, my left column is wider than it should be around the links. In IE 7, the center column is waaayy down on the page. Help!

For the Mac IE 5, I think this is caused by the links being wraped in a paragraph tag. Have you tried doing this as a list?
Honestly I don't know why you would be so worried about IE 5 at all, it is almost completely obsolete, firefox is available (version 2) for os X 10.2 and above. Firefox 3 for 10.4 and above.
For IE 7 doing that, you might have the total width at 100% if you are using a fluid design. I know IE has some issues with that. If the total is 99% it should work.
The basics of setting up a list menu would be like this.
HTML Code
<ul class="nav"><p>Navigation</p>
<li><a href="http://your link here" title="hover text">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="http://link" title="Link">Link 2</a></li>
etc. etc.
</ul>
CSS code
.nav {list-style:none;
}
.nav p {
border:1px solid #000;
color:#000000;
}
.nav li a {
color:#111111;
text-decoration:none;
}
.nav li a:hover {
color:#44aa22;
text-decoration:underline;
}
Hope this helps,

I know what you mean about IE 5 for mac. When FF is out there, why use IE anyway? I don't. I primarily use a mac at home but have a PC laptop and use a PC at work. I am mainly concerned with the IE 7 on PC issue, but thought I might be able to solve the other as well. So thanks for the tip!

Hi lwolfe!
Welcome to TWF!
I think you can safely ignore IE5 issues at this point, the user base is essentially nil http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
Sorry, I don't have a Mac
(but I do have two poodles!

This forum is awesome! Thanks so much for the help. I am going to try to change my table width for IE 7 and let you know...
I got roped into this volunteer job and inherited this website. And obviously, I am a novice at it. But it's fun and I am learning. And I too have a poodle. Who knew!?

I tried the width="99%" and also width="500" with no luck. Today I am seeing it on IE 6; don't think I saw this version before. My PC laptop is out of town and this one has an older version. On IE 6 my tabs spill over into the background. Not so pretty.
