Hi!
Having a problem with my menues for customers using mac and internet explorer.
It works perfectly fine for all browsers on pc and netscape on mac.
The menues are written with div tags and javasript. Must be some code that it not supported. How can i figure out/find a place where they tell which code they support or not? like the w3.org but for mac / javascript

been there done that.. Not much help. See some others arounfd the world share the same problem, but no replies for them either.. Think IE for Mac does not support some javascript. Will talk to MS about this...

What specific Javascript issues are you seeing with IE/Mac?
While there are some gaping holes in IE/Mac's Javascript implementation, I've had very little trouble working around them.
Btw, Mozilla on Mac exhibits very little difference (in fact, none that I've been able to find) from Mozilla on other platforms. And the Safari browser, while still exhibiting some display issues, has a pretty solid Javascript implementation.
