FP2003 photo gallery slide show and Firefox

[Bob Morris]

When I create a Photo Gallery Slide Show in FP 2003 it displays fine in
IE, with the small photos running horizontally across the top with the
big photo underneath. If there are more photos than will fit
horizontally then IE puts in the prev/next icons

However, in FireFox, these scroll bars never appear. It just keeps
adding the horizontal photos, no prev/next icons, stretching them out
across the page, going way beyond the boundary of the page.

Let's assume 10 photos, 5 fit on the page

IE

< Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 Photo4 Photo5 >

big photo

Firefox

Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 Photo4 Photo5 Photo6 Photo7 Photo8 Photo9 Photo10

big photo

Thus I can't use Slide Show in FireFox. Any ideas on a fix?

FP photogallery slide show does play well on certain browsers.

Try JAlbum, it's free, skinnable and very easy to incorporate into an FP
web. If you need help lemme know I use it a lot.

Yeah, on Internet Explorer. It stinks on other browsers.

I'm tired of FrontPage "features" that don't work on other browsers.
Especially those that involve IE ignoring the command that the other
browsers obey.

Take a look at long "link bars" in Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and others.
FP separates the link buttons with "&nbsp;" tags, which IE merrily
ignores -- IE wraps the link bar based on the window size. Browsers
that obey the &nbsp; (non-breaking space) create windows where you
have to scroll to the right to see all the link bar.

I'm equally tired of the sloppy, non-standard code that FP generates.

I was expecting a dramatically improved program when I upgraded from
FP2000 to FP2003. The only useful improvement is the "split view"
that shows code and design in the same window.

I keep my link bars short and sweet so I've never had a problem...I see no
reason to have a link bar with the Gettysburg Address on it.

I've also not had problems with sloppy code...but then again I'm not that
much of a neat freek. I figure if my pages work in the 6 or so browsers I
test it on thats good enough for the webs I produce. If I wrote heavy
commercial or government sites that'd be a different story I guess.
