problems with viewing some websites

A month ago (I think) it was the first time that I notice that there were problems with viewing some website made with CMS MODX in Chrome and Safari (Firefox does well). All the websites have the newest update of MODX. (2.2.6).
I thought maybe there is a problem with the newest php 5.3 and modx. Last year there was a update done by our hostingcompany. Do I have to change something in a (html) code to fix this and make php 5.3 works? Is there somebody who can help me to fix this problem?

Thanks!

MODX doesn't do anything with your HTML and CSS code except send it to the browser. If there's a problem, it's likely something in your HTML and/or CSS code that is not completely cross-browser compatible. Have you validated your code here: http://validator.w3.org/? That would be the first step.

If something works in one browser but not in others that means a Javascript or HTML error. Firefox is very forgiving; it will more-or-less render a page even if you have some bad HTML. If you do a "view source" in the latest versions of Firefox, it shows things in red to let you know there's something wrong. Some false positives, but still a quick way to generally validate your HTML.

Got a link and a better description of what exactly is the problem your experiencing? Browsers have different rendering engines and both Safari and Chrome use Webkit which seems to be the browsers your having issues with.

Hi Bob, Thank you for this information.

Hi Ben,
Our technical person for the websites did change something so the preview in Chrome seems oke but safari still is a mess. After refreshing the browser everytime something else is missing. (pictures missing, design changed)
(website: www.etalageduet.nl).

We are checking now all the suggestions above.

Thanks, Henk-Jan

Definitely check your source and run it through the W3C validator.

Well that will break stuff. Should it be rendered as HTML5 or XHTML 1.0 Transitional (which should never ever be used—evar. IMO). Two opening html tags.

Yup - I always use the W3 Validator - it is very easy to overlook something at times. Nice site btw!
