Problem: Layout DIVs are not properly aligned and text size is not properly
interpreted in SAFARI on Mac. (all display is fine in IE, Firefox, Netscape
-- problem is specific to only SAFARI on Mac)

Question: Is there a way to specify a separate stylesheet for only one
browser (SAFARI on Mac), while letting all other browsers (IE, Firefox,
Netscape, etc.) use the current/default stylesheet?

Note: I am using FrontPage 2003 on Windows XP. But would like info on
alternate stylesheet, if possible, even if FrontPage doesn't have this
feature.

Show me your code please. Such problems usually indicate non-standard
usages.

Browser sniffers are available but fail more than they succeed. It's much
less trouble to fix your existing code than it is to double your maintenance
by creating a new stylesheet.

Murray is right, usually if it displays correctly in Firefox it will display
correctly in Safari. There is an old version of Safari that has a display
bug but it was fixed in the next update. If you provide the url we can see
if it is a bug in the stylesheet, code or triggering the display issue in
the one version of Safari (not used much since it was one of the early
builds).
