trouble with viewing website

[Guest]

We have put up a commercial website using Front Page 2003. We are a small
home based company.

Several people have told us that viewing our site is like looking at wet
newspaper. The frames are overlapped with text bleeding in from other frames
or pages. Nothing we do can recreate what is happening.

All help appreciated

No one can help unless you post a URL for the site to see what you did

It might be best not to use frames. Also probably don't use any absolute
positioning.

Or if you use it, use it properly.

 

[E. T. Culling]

Well, that's the question isn't it?? Where are a good set of instructions
for absolute positioning?

Here's a start -

Thank you, but I think that is well over the heads of many FrontPage users.
Shall I add that link to my Resources page:
http://www.eleanorstravels.com/suggestedresources.htm or my Don't Do page:

[Murray]

Sure you could. And thanks!

Well over the head or not, it's something they need to think about trying to
understand if they are going to use layers.

I'm having the same problem...Did you ever find a solution?
Thanks

Sounds like the OP is using absolute positioning, which is not properly supported in all
browsers.

which is not properly supported in all

browsers.

Steve - ya gotta stop with this. It's just wrong.

You can say it's not properly supported in V4 and earlier browsers. You can
say that it's often misused by developers. But there is no difference in how
its supported by any modern browser.

how about "it's a pita to use and not worth the effort"

It can be. But doesn't have to be. However, I think this suggestion is the
best for you to use! 8)
