Hello
My site is almost complete and looks good when viewing with IE, then I discovered that the same site looks scrambled when viewing with Netscape Navigator. I can’t imagine what it will look like with AOL or on a Mac.

Does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem? Does FrontPage have any internal fixes for this problem? And why would this happen? Shouldn’t html pages view the same in any browser? I don’t get it! All I know is that my site is useless unless viewed with IE on a PC.
Help
Thanks,
robert

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for looking into this
I haven’t created the island pop ups link pages yet, as I want to iron out the bugs before making the island pages. But the category links should work. I know the border that surrounds the database goes off the screen when no results are returned for a particular category, i'll fix that this weekend.
Why must this happen? Why cant everyone just use IE and make my life easier?????

robert

I hope you didn't use absolute positioning! If you did... change over to
tables and cells!

Robert,

The main issue is the use of Absolute Positioning which is not well support in various browser,
versions, OSs and resolutions, best to avoid and structure your page layout using tables where you
can pretty much be sure that all users will see the site as you have designed it or very close to
it.

Even so, Navigator will render some tables differently from IE. I have found
this to be a problem sometimes when the table contains empty cells.
Unfortunately there is no real option other than using both IE and Navigator
to preview your pages before publishing them - and Opera and others if you
really want to be compulsive.

Hello

Thanks

You could make it look similar to your current design, but it will take time and effort.

Robert,

While your at redesigning you may want to optimize your graphics images. Your main banner image is over 300K in file size.

Just a thought,,

Robo
