Looking after father in laws Apple iMac 27" All-In-One Desktop PC 2.8Ghz
I am trying to solve a problem for my 85 year old father-in-law, a new mac user. He is trying to view the source code of web pages he has produced on his PC. He is trying to do everything on the mac now but has had problems with writing HTML and an FTP program.
The current problem is that there is absolutely NO menu bar in either Safari or Firefox. No File, Edit, View etc etc... I did read that the mac os looks after these things and not Safari, which doesn't help much being a PC user myself. It seems very odd that both browsers behave the same. Any clues anyone?
The machine spec: Jim’s iMac
OS X 10.6.4
2.8 GHz Intel core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

The menu bar for the browsers is not in the program itself but at the very top of the screen, here is a screen shot of my MBP just to show how it works.

As you can see from the SS the bar at the very top changes to show the relevant options for the open program.

Hope this helps

Here is also an SS when I have iPhoto open to show you the difference.

HTH,
