1. site designed using HTML tables
2. you all suggested I go purely CSS
3. I learned CSS and re-designed the site. You can see the new format here:
http://www.bedofnails.tv/test01/home.htm
4. I'm still tweaking the CSS code to run properly

Please check out this example:

So I've been working with a friend trying to build this site and I'm finding out that his view and mine are completely different. I'm running a PC and he's running a Mac Book Pro with OSX (10.4.11).
Here is a screenshot of how it's supposed to look:
Here's what I get from his Mac running Safari:
...and here's his Mac running Firefox:
I'm at a loss here. I tested the code on IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari before ever sending it out and I'm still seeing completely different fonts and layout. I'm seeing a taller table in Safari --even though I specify the exact width and height of the background table to prevent the background image from repeating itself and yet here it is! I've specified what I thought were "web-safe" standard fonts and yet both Safari and Firefox wind up with totally different fonts --neither of which were the actual fonts I specified. What gives? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I was hoping to pull this site off with straight HTML and not Flash but it just seems like I've lost total control of the page renderings here!
