possible problem with css and mac browsers

[DJRobThaMan]

Hi,

I have a website with an external style sheet linked to it with the following code:


body
{
background-color:#606060;
}


does anyone know why mac browsers would render the site with a black background?

Thanks
Douglas

PS. The site is rendered perfectly on a PC

PSS. If you want to see the site it's www.fourlinefilms.com/flftest.html

Check out this article:

It helps explain strange colour issues like that.

Thanks for the link. It shed a bit of light on what could be happening, but this color #606060 is supposed to be a gray-ish color. If it wasn't compatible with the mac pallette would black be the color that would be chosen to be displayed as opposed to another gray?

Thanks for the help,
Douglas

That article is six years old. Your color should display fine though I don't have a Mac.
Which browser do you mean? Safari?

Yep... here's an actual screen shot of what's going on. The shadow images I think I can just give actual pixel values as opposed to the 100% that I have for the height attribute. But it's just bugging me that the background colour has just decided not to be right. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Douglas
