Hi, we have had a number of people with macs tell us they cannot see the text
on our web site. They can see the page headers and the pictures but that's
it. I am using FP2003 with XP. I know absolutely nothing about code (that's
why I buit our site with FP), so please be kind with the explanation on how
to fix what I screwed it up. Our web site is at www.laramicattery.com .
Thanks for your help.

Remove all negative margins from your styles as in the margin-bottom: -25px"

Rename all you files/folders to remove spaces

Stefan, thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately I do not know what you mean about removing negative margins from the styles. Could you be more specific, maybe give me an example of what you mean? And how do I remove spaces from all files and folders? Sorry for being such an idiot. ;-)

<p style="margin-bottom: -25px">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: -25px"></p>

In code view you'll see the negative margins (your code sample above).

Also, as Stefan points out, you should rename all file names without spaces
or other illegal characters, also avoid capitalization. So... image;
Gal%202005-09-17%20both_small.jpg may be named something like;
gal-2005-09-07-both-small.jpg (which is still kinda a long file name).
Spaces in file names will appear as %20 and will break links on some
servers/browsers/machines.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for the explanation. Now I know that a space in code appears as
%20. However, even looking at the example you provided of my code I don't
know where the negative margins are. Is it the indented lines under > height?
If that's what it is, will backspacing those lines make the text on my site
visible on a Mac?
Thanks,

I am not Rob, but these are the negative margins ("-25px")
