Question

I created a mock up here of some html and for some reason my site looks different on safari than how i want it to look on chrome. On chrome it looks correct but on safari on osx and on mobile phones it just looks a bit off and centered in random spaces. I am not sure how to make it so other browsers look like one?

You can see the difference here in chrome win and safari osx ( the first image chrome ) http://imgur.com/Z3kYG&SYZkW?full I just want it to look as it does on chrome but i cant figure out whats wrong with my code.

<div id="right-preview"><div id="background1"><div id="contentarea">
                <h4 id="time">01:59 AM</h3><br/><h4 class="username">Enter a name..</h3><div id="conversation"><div class="gBoxTall">
                                    <div class="right">
                                        <p class="message"> Your mom and I are going to divorce next month.</p>
                                    </div>
                                    <div class="bottom">

Your h4 tags are closed with h3 tags – this is invalid. Based on your CSS the line should probably be:

<h4 id="time">01:59 AM</h4><br/><h3 class="username">Enter a name..</h3><div id="conversation"><div class="gBoxTall">
