I took over the maintenence of http://www.zettaflorence.com a few months ago and have slowly been upgrading the pages, eg. the front page used to be well over 250kb!

My problem is that the client has been asking me about layout on Mac's, as they have had a few complaints. As i have no access to a Mac, i was wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me / screen cap for me their page layouts.

Thanks in Advance.

If you code to existing standards, you won't have a problem on the mac.

It looks fine, but it sucked up all my running memory instantly. I'm on a brand new eMac with all available memory filled, so there is something wrong with your page for sure. IE and N7 have the same issue, and when I shut the page everything works normally.

The DHTML seems to work, but as always, DHTML exacts a heavy price in terms of page load and scrolling ease, as well as usability and accessibility considerations.

In this case, the DHTML is causing all sorts of problems for the mac. I'd guess that it's causing some problems for the pc as well.

Oh yeah, it kills anything below a P3 500 basically. Unfortunatly, my ASP skills are lacking somewhat and they admin system is intertwined with the menu system. I still can't believe these guys payed $30,000AUD for the site and signed the 1 page (thats right) contract!
