link bar text is distorted in browser

[Guest]

When viewing the custom link bar in FrontPage, the text is very readable;
when viewing the same page in IE browser through the web server, the text is
distorted. Can anyone help?

Validate your html - Broken do to your editing

For Example You have
<td width="233" height="28" valign="top" colspan="2">
<a href="about/about-ntpc.asp" id="_about-ntpc_asp">
<img border="0" src="images/hmbtns/hmbtn-about-ntpc-mod.gif" title="The 'how and why' for organizing the NTPC, Common Questions
(FAQs) about NTPC, NTPC Rule Book (also contains Event Sanctioning and Guidelines)." </a width="233" height="28">
</a></td>

Which should be
<td width="233" height="28" valign="top" colspan="2">
<a href="about/about-ntpc.asp" id="_about-ntpc_asp">
<img border="0" src="images/hmbtns/hmbtn-about-ntpc-mod.gif" title="The 'how and why' for organizing the NTPC, Common Questions
(FAQs) about NTPC, NTPC Rule Book (also contains Event Sanctioning and Guidelines)." width="233" height="28">
</a></td>

PS
Word/Shape art will be only visible in IE or in a degraded form in other browsers

This is very helpful for the table on the home page; however, my biggest
problem is the horizontal custom link bar on the subsequent pages. For
example, click on About NTPC. The text in the link bar is distorted at the
top of the page. It is also somewhat distorted in the left nav bar
(javascript mechanism). Any suggestions?

That page has even more crippled html
- multiple body tags and html tags out of sequence
- many browser won't even display the page

PS
The 3 button are not distorted for me

How does one keep FrontPage from adding all the junk that it adds? I guess I
should go back to manually coding my pages instead of letting FP do it!

That page has even more crippled html
- multiple body tags and html tags out of sequence
- many browser won't even display the page

There are also 2 include files on this page; that might explain the multiple
body tags and possible out-of-sequence html tags. Don't other browsers
accommodate "include" files?

These horizontal link bars did not look distorted until I got a new Dell
laptop. Maybe the problem is at my end in the display properties. It's hard
for me to tell because my hold HP desktop displayed them just fine. And,
with only one computer to view them from now, I have no way of knowing except
what I see on this laptop.

Thank you for taking your time to take a look at this problem and offer your
suggestions.

Multiple include pages don't cause malformed html
- validate the actual include pages too
Try using the page validator at http://www2.imagiware.com/RxHTML/
