Can someone with a MAC check this?

I checked with OSX and 3 different Mac browsers NS7, IE5 and Safari. It
looks preety darn good in all of them. I see no 29 on the homepage nor
do I see it when all text on the page is highlighted, thinking that some
piece of text might be hidden against your dark background. As far as I
can see on quick glance there is nothing in your coding such as absolute
positioning, that would cause a problem in some Mac browsers.

If you can pin down your client on the exact MacOS and browser being
used it would help to further troubleshoot. But it looks like you're
using standard html with elements that are all relatively placed. That
shouldn't be causing problems for anyone. Is it possible the 29 appears
in a text alt tag? That would show if the image fails to load.

OT- your title tag is missing.
 
Don't have a Mac, but I did check in Netscape, Firefox,
Opera & IE and I saw no 29. I searched through the code also
and did not find "29" by itself- just in combination with
other characters as values for attributes (eg width=229)

OK. Well thanks for checking anyway! He always seems to have problems
seeing the most current version of the web page on his Mac. Hopefully he'll
see what you see eventually. ;)

Thanks.
 
He wouldn't be an AOL user, would he?

Mike's suggestion is a good one and worth looking into further. AOL used
to recompress web images into their own format to save bandwidth. They
may still do. Results can be terrible as you might imagine. Blurry pics
and lots of artifacts.

If it's an AOL browser issue you should be able to see the same things
in an AOL browser for Windows if the compression option is not disabled
in the browser.
 
Ok, once more...
http://www.emerge-solutions.com/images/screenshot 9_10_06.tiff

My client sent me this screen shot from his Mac to show me the "29" in black
font (you can barely see) on the top right corner of my menu area. This is
so bizarre - I thought it was because he may not have the most recent version
of the website up but he has all the wedding clips I just added so it does
appear to be the latest and greatest.

2nd problem: Can anyone tell me how to fix the box around my clips so that
all that spacing is closed up like in IE?

many thanks!!
Beverly
 
Bev- that screenshot doesn't look anything like the live page I'm seeing
in Safari. That's the browser being used in the screenshot. Layout in
the screenshot isn't even close to the live page. I'm with your first
theory- old cached version.
 
Sorry beverly-TX- looking at the wrong page- it's the gallery page I
think you mean and the error is here
<td height="119"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="229">

&nbsp;</td>
<td width="1"></td>
<td valign="top" rowspan="5" width="29">
29<p>&nbsp;</td>

note the 29 text before the last <p>
 
Aha! Thank you!!!

So in Safari, does the box around the video clip look like the screen shot or
does it look like what you see in IE?

Thanks!!
 
Well, the box isn't the problem. No WM player loads in any Mac browser
I'm using. You're using a WMP file and though that exists for Macs most
Mac users use QuickTime. Windows Media files can only be played in a
Windows Media Player. You'll notice in the client's screeshot that
there's a Red X where the player should go. That means the Player is
missing.
