Hi, all -

Okay, here's a couple problems I'm having with FP 2002 that I'd
appreciate help with...

1) I designed all my pages from a single "new page" template, so that
all pages have certain properties set. Among these are the rollover
effects for my hyperlinks (as set in Page properties/Background/rollover
effects). I have them set for underline and small caps on all pages.
The problem is, when viewed in IE (version 6.0), the links when moused
over do not change to small caps at all on two of my pages. On the other
five, they work as expected. But on all of the pages, none of the links
located within FP-generated nav bars (the ones generated by FP's
navigation feature) change to small caps when moused over. BUT, in
Netscape 7.0, *all* of the links on *every* page display as expected
when moused over.

2) However, in Netscape 7.0, just *one* of my pages which looks
perfectly normal in IE 6.0 has the font sizes all wrong - text set to
the "normal" FP setting (9 pt) appears to be 18 or 24 points, what I've
set as larger font size appears smaller, etc. All of the other pages
display properly in Netscape.

Oy.

To repeat, all of the links within the body text of all pages have been
generated using the same new page template, so there should be no
variation there fro page to page. All navigation links have been
generated by FP 2002.

Any insights into what's going on here would be greatly appreciated, as
always.

TIA,
Craig

Are you using a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to control the appearance? If
not, you should seriously look into it to control the styles and layout of
your web pages. BTW, there continue to be differences in the browsers
despite advances being made. Follow the web standards and forget trying to
work around these bugs in the browsers -- keep your sanity!

Provide a URL

IMHO
Validate your CSS
- just because you paid for it, doesn't mean it is cross browser compatible

Stefan -

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the site isn't published yet, so I can't supply a URL.

What would be the best way to validate the CSS? Is there a program that would do this? I don't know
enough about coding to do it manually.

Also, even if the coding isn't cross-browser compatible, how about the first problem concerning the
links rollovers? Why shouldn't this work in IE at least?

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,

The W3 has a validor here:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Scroll down past the 'download the validator' link. You can cut and past
your CSS content or upload the file and have it checked.

You should also check your generated HTML file by saving it then uploading
it to the W3's validator here:
http://validator.w3.org

Thanks, Jack. I'll check them both out.
