Safari Position:relative problem

I figured it out. I hadn’t specified a width on one of my container div’s. It automatically adjusted in IE6 and Firefox but was cutting off content in Safari, causing div’s to jump to the next line rather than resizing.

I’m building a custom wordpress theme off of the “blank2r” framework https://www.refueled.net/blank-themes/ …

Anyway I’ve spent many hours getting it to work perfect on IE 6 and Firefox, and in the mean time forgot to check whether it was working in Safari v3.2. Well, it doesn’t. I’m pretty sure this is due to a positioning bug– Safari definitely does not interpret “position:relative” correctly. Can anyone who has had similar issues advise?

Can anyone give me some suggestions based on my CSS alone? I’m running wordpress on my localserver and haven’t uploaded to the web yet.

I will paste first the few div’s in question that are not aligning correctly, then paste the rest of my CSS in its entirety. Thanks alot!

I’m additionally using 960.gs css framework.
