The problem is the use of absolute positioning to layout the page. And while it may seem to you to be only a Safari problem, I regret that that is just not so. A simple float layout will handle that content without any problem. No absolute positioning is necessary. A simple structural layout test is to zoom the fonts to 200%. In xp ff, this turns your page into quite a turmoil. Even though the fonts are frozen in ie6.0, the page bears no resemblance to its compliant browser sisters. While it may be a difficult pill to swallow-- personally, I'd consider a less ambitious, but workable cross-browser solution that doe not include absolute positioning. Best, ~dL
