Hi, I was wondering if you guys had a code that would single out the Firefox browser on
Mac. my website doesn't display properly and I need to redirect my users to a another
page. Any help would be great...thanks!

Does it even display properly in the PC FF version? Good chance that if you site doesn't display correctly then your coding is bad. Got a link?

its probably bad coding :) because i'm new to this

but the page works in IE for Mac, Safari, and Netscape 7.2

Oh yeah its bad coding alright. You can start here (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsymphoniasearch.tripod.com%2F) though that won't help much as tripod is adding a lot of their own stuff. I recommend freewebs (http://www.freewebs.com). They don't add ads to your page. They just require that you link back to their site.

Then what makes you think you will even "get" javascript? If you aren't willing to do the work then why are you even doing web design in the first place?
