There are a couple available at everyone's favorite resource, the 
CSS-D Wiki, here: <http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CssHacks>

Are any of your elements floated?  IE Mac is very strict about 
requiring widths to be specified on most floats, and will default the 
width to 100% if it isn't otherwise specified.  I don't know if this 
has anything to do with your actual page, since you didn't provide a 
link; but floats are a good place to start looking.

The relevant section of the CSS float spec is here: 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#q8>.  Note that IE Mac is 
the only common browser that actually follows this part of the 
specification, so the current 2.1 draft drastically changes this 
section.  See here: <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#q8> for 
details.

HTH,
