Top Border Menus Stretch off forever in Firefox

[Morgan Hicks]

All's well in Internet Explorer, however my site's top border's menu runs off
the screen and doubles the width of the page.

Is there a way to control this down to the screen's width? I tried to place
the menu entirely in a 95% width table 1 row x 1 column but that hasn't made
any difference.

Any help is appreciated,

I am making the assumption (dangerous practice) that you are using a
FrontPage text link bar, but not the [ link ] variety.

If this is the case, then FireFox is displaying the link bar correctly -
there should NOT be any breaks or word wrap.

Consider this snippet from the Link Bar (using Dots as an example):

</A></nobr>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;<nobr><A HREF=
The links in this link bar are coded so that they cannot word wrap,
although IE manages to do so at the bullet (&bull, which is the wrong
behaviour.

Your choices are to
1) use a different style that allows word wrapping (the default style,
[ link ], is the only one I know of).

2) In FP2003, create your own style that allows wrapping - requires
editing the file at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
11\1033\botstyle\navbars.ini, copy one of the existing styles, and edit
the copy - give it a new name. Example, copy [Dots], rename the copy to
[Dots2], and
replace
H-Separator="&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;"
with
H-Separator=" &bull;&nbsp;"
replace
name=Dots
with
name=Dots2

Caveat - this will place a bullet at the start of the second row.


3) Use two or more custom link bars, so that they will wrap at the
"joins".
