FrontPage Hyperlinks in Firefox

[Guest]

I recently redesigned our website (www.bbbsmercer.org) using FrontPage.
Prior to this complete overhaul all pages & links were working in both IE &
Firefox. The new design, however, only seems to be working in IE. I created
all of the hyperlinks by using the "insert hyperlink" to change the text. Is
there something about this new design, or is there something that may have
been present before & is now missing that would cause the hyperlinks to
appear as messed up text rather then working links in Firefox only? Thanks
for any help!

Most likely your use of VML graphics, which are IE only.

Did you create this maybe in Word and then copy everything into Frontpage?

Word (and other office products) were not really meant to create HTML
documents.

Or did you use the drawing tools of Frontpage? Those are another that will
create this code and thus not work properly in all browsers.

Links in text-boxes will appear as non-working pictures of links (if
they appear at all) in FireFox, Opera and other non-IE browsers.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/VML-graphics.htm for other
reasons why VML graphics (WordArt, ShapeArt, Text-Boxes and other
objects created from the Drawing Toolbar) should be avoided in a
website.
