Hello again. It's always me with the annoying question. But I posted a question before. (Thanks again) I was informed that FrontPage is compatible with Netscape. Well, I downloaded Mozilla so that I can cross reference. And my page doesn't open with that. I was told that Mozilla is a spin off of Netscape. So if Mozilla opens, Netscape should open. Either which way, it doesn't. Does anyone know why?
 
Start with basics...can you open ANY page with Mozilla?
In other words; is Mozilla installed and working correctly?

Next tiny steps:

What version of FP did you use to create web?
and...
Post the URL of the website.

| yes, I've opened other web pages, it's ok. When I open my page, there is a blue background. (The color background of my page) But there are no words or other colors.

Hi,
we'd need to see your site - there could be lots of reasons :-)

All I have is Netscrape & IE6, on mac & pc and it looks fine on those. I don't have Mozilla

This line (immediately after the body tag)
<!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> does nothing and may be removed.
However,
<!--[if gte ie 4]>
effectively makes the page IE4+ only, NN4 may open the page, since it does
not understand that directive, but modern versions of Netscape do.
The directive ends when (in Mozilla Firefox) either the tag <![endif]--> or
a closing comment tag --> is found.

Actually, the page will not open in any version of Netscape.
With that line (<!--[if gte ie 4]>) removed the page will open in all
browsers - but I have not checked what incompatible code may be in the page
that the directive may be guarding.

Ron, I deleted that whole line, and it works! (At least in Mozilla, I'm going to ask a couple of Netscape users to check it out)Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it!

try the mozilla package:
http://mozilla.org
for a free "community based" suite it's very impressive. email program,
html editor, browser, calendar, and a couple of other little things.
I liked it so much I spent a few hours making sure my site rendered properly
in it. It doesn't like the style that fp adds to tables. ;-)

pretty cool.

except mozilla seems to have problems with fp generated photogallery...infact it also has problem with my JAlbum generated photogallerys. Other than that my sites look ok in mozilla.

but you can be sure i'm not gonna spend time redesigning for mozilla especially since the one site with the large galleries..the small audience it's designed for wouldn't know what mozilla is .... they hardly know what IE is :-)

fire fox is the stand alone browser. you don't need it if you download the
whole suite. I'd recommend the suite if you can hack the 15MB download.
the html editor is pretty nice. all the people who don't like the way fp
"manhandles" the pages won't like it though. I haven't found a way for it
to stop adding doctype and other "proper" html formatting things that you
wouldn't want if you're going to use the file in the server side include
way. ;-)
I haven't tried all that hard or asked their newsgroup so I can't really
complain at this point.
