You're using vml graphics and they only display in Internet Explorer.
The only option is to not use vml.

Take screen shots, convert to images and use the images instead.

Site looks ok with Netscape 7.2 here.

However, vml is not supported on MAC.

What are vml graphics? Are you saying the pictures are vml? I thought they
were jpg??
Thank you very much for your help!

VML graphics are produced by using Word Art, and the tools on the Drawing
Toolbar. This includes rectangles, shapes, text boxes, lines etc.

I did the same thing - and lots of it. I wonder if you are as irritated as I
am. Last week I knew nothing about VML and had a site that I thought looked
great. Today I know more than I ever wanted to about VML and have nothing but
2 months of useless work. So much for the "beginners can use it right of the
box" claim from Microsoft. Don't you wonder why they include such familiar
and easy to use tools without clear warnings about the restrictions they
present?

You can fix all that you did in a couple of hours.

FP includes a lot of tools to make it easy for beginners, and that might just be the problem, or the reason why WordArt and Draw, Autoshapes, ecc. exist at all. Now you learned how to do all that...wasn't really a waste of time was it? All you have to do now is learn how to use an image editor to easily convert the art to universal art..jpgs, gifs. But in the meantime IE has a market share of over 80 percent so a LOT of people will see your site ok.
