It seems that it has problems with floats, do you know if absolute positioning is more reliable ?

Cheers,

Without knowing too much about your markup…

MSIE/Mac's float issues only raise their ugly heads under certain circumstances.
You can often work around them by a minor rethink of the markup which allows for more default (i.e. undeclared) widths to come into play.

Can't suggest anything less cryptic than that without seeing the markup.

Try putting temporary bg colours and borders on divs to see what's going wrong.

Some bugs here - http://www.macedition.com/cb/ie5macbugs/ - but I'm sure I've found more.
