After having spent a great deal of time and effort ensuring consistency between my page's appearence in both IE and NN for Windows I have discovered the inconsistencies between Internet Explorer 5 on my PC and IE4 running in a mac emulator.

The bulk of the page displays fine, I have already discovered the problem of font sizes set using pt displaying differently and have therefore used px throughout. However the line spacing does not seem to be the same across the two platforms. I have set up all formatting using CSS ensuring that I have defined margins and padding (to avoid problems with the default values being different on different systems.)

I have also used CSS to define the width and height of a text input box form element which again works fine in IE5 for Windows but not in IE4 for Mac OS, the input box is the correct width but not the correct height, although changing the height attribute does affect the height of the box on the Mac, it just seems to be 3 or 4 pixels too high.
