my site on the mac - IE5.1 & NS6

Hi. I am now trying to understand how my site is rendering for all the Mac
people out there. My Dad has one so I was able to test on his two browsers -
IE5.1Mac and NS6. His OS is the one before Mac went Unix with OS X, or
whatever it's called. I'd also like to hear from anyone else running any
other browsers/versions on the Mac platform.

Under IE5.1Mac the background colors of the various divs making up the
site's box model are not rendering properly. Specifically, the bgcolor of
MidSection (white) is not rendering; instead what's seen is the bgcolor of
<body>, which is black (for test purposes). I had a problem similar to this
which is described in a 14 Sep 03 post with subject "Netscape 7.1 <body>
bgcolor misbehaving". The explanation given then by Steve Pugh was...

The reason other browsers are showing white is beacuse they are
applying the background-color to #MidSection , but all the content of
that div is floated. As floated content is outside the document flow
the #MidSection has no height (NN interprets you height: 100%; as
being 100% of the height of the content, not 100% of the height of the
container). Add some non-floated content with clear: both before the
end of the #MidSection div.


So, that's what I did. I added non-floated content (in the form of MidCol-3)
and then happily kissed the problem goodbye. But now it's back on the Mac
under IE5.1!

On NS6 on the Mac the rendering is pretty good. The only issue is the black
bar at the bottom of the page - which is the bgcolor of the <body> showing
up even though I intend MidSection to go 100% of the page height. I think
NS7.1 under XP does the same thing.

Any ideas on either of these two problems?

Brian
