When I design a web presentation (using dreamweaver), I have to test all functions used in the web pages in PC (Explorer and Nets)and in Macintosh (Explorer and Nets). The weird thing is that some functions like opening a new browser window will not work in Mac. I have to change behavior from "onClick" to "onMouseUp" which works sometimes. In some case, switching and setting events to show for older version browser do not solve the problem. What causes the different result in both PC and Mac? How to fix?

Mac browsers are so far behind the times it's not funny. The problem is due to the lack of support & upates to the mac browsers even thought most mac users are very passionate about thier cpu the browser authors don't seem to think they matter. So the mac development is ignored. For instance, IE 5 on Mac has had a multipart-form bug for over 3 years and it's still not fixed to my knowledge. Most of the Mac problems can be coded around except for a few. I would suggest trying to use externally authored code instead of a DW pre-fab.
