Hello

I have recently redesigned and relaunched my site at http://1000words.net. I have since had queries that it does not render correctly on Safari since:

(a) the text overflows; and
(b) the title is not displayed on the left as it should.

I have no experience with Safari as I am not familiar with Macs and had sought to make the site compatible to Firefox and IE. I am guessing it is the overflow div commands but am not at all sure.

Do you know how I can fix this error (I hope it can be repaired!). A good proportion of my audience use Safari (based on the emails I have received) Any starters would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards
David

yeah there are problems in safari.
the navigation at top is overlapping your logo and the scrolling div area to the right just doesn't work in safari.
I would guess that the text content in that area you're wanting to scroll is forcing the div to enlarge.
You could try putting that div into a table? Although that would definitely get you bad marks from the web-standards-club. lol
You need to force that div height. Make sure you've got it set and not just inheriting it from some other container.

hope that helps.
