The site looks terrible in Safari. Something has gone very, very wrong...


Edit: image removed.

lack of cross-browser testing / valid xhtml... thats wat's gone wrong...

Which Safari release are you using? I can't reproduce your problems with version 2.0.4 (419.3) here (the current release shipped with OSX 10.4.7). Everything looks and behaves fine.

I am using the same version as you, 2.0.4 build 419.3. I've cleared my cache, force reloaded, everything I can think of and the problem remains.

Are you using some settings related to Safari's Debug-menu or any 3rd party extensions. As visible in a small part of your screenshot, our server detected you as running M$ Windows, so there's something severely wrong.
Anyway, as a last try you might also want to Reset Safari.

It's the width of the window that is the problem. Just make your Safari less wide and you'll see the issue.

Didn't we have a min-width thing to prevent these kind of issues ? (min width has been validated on Firefox and IE ... maybe we should test other browsers too)

CSS property min-width doesn't work on IE 5.x and 6.x

The site still has all the problems I stated here, including some width problems.

Use a browser that doesn't suck?

Opera shows it fine, Firefox shows it fine. Heck, even Konqueror shows it just fine.

I'm afraid the solution to the problem is not 'Try another browser'...

Indeed. Telling the majority of users of an entire platform to use another browser is no solution. It's like telling all windows users to switch to Firefox (which is a good idea anyway, but not the point) to be able to download VLC and get infos about VideoLAN.
Anyway, we are aware of the situation, getting up to 10 messages about it per day and will hopefully fix it soon (although I can't help there since my CSS knowledge is way too little for that).
