Links

[Guest]

I have a website that was designed with Frontpage 2003. Several viewers who
use Apple that when they click on a link, nothing happens but other viewers
who use a pc have not had any problems. How can this be fixed?

What's the URL so we can take a look? What browser are the Apple folks
using?

 

[Guest]

the url is http://www.ljcdspa.org/Gala-Ways-to-Donate.htm
When they click on the link "donate wine" it goes to a pdf file which
doesn't work for them. When they click on the link "donate auction items"
nothing happens. I don't know what browser they are using but I can find out.

You're using textboxes (VML) which may not even show in FF, basically it's
IE proprietary (sorta). It may show in some browsers other than IE, but as a
downlevel .gif.

For instance...download FF and try clicking on those links! But also look at
that page itself (yech).

No links appear when viewed with FF and the font looks awful. Any suggestions
in correcting this?

Yes, don't use; Textboxes, Autoshapes, or basically anything on the Draw
toolbar.

Do they have Adobe Reader (to view the PDF's in)?

Thank you for all of this information. I have been reading so many books on
frontpage by different authors and none of them mentioned this potential
problem. I will need to redesign several of my pages to make them work via
different browsers. Is there anything else I need to know that may cause
viewers not to see things properply when not using IE?

 

[Guest]

It appears that the viewers using Safari (apple) are the ones who are having
the major problems.

You just need to test your site in different browsers whenever possible.
