Why don't my hyperlinks work in Netscape?

[Guest]

My web site works great in IE but none of my links will work in Netscape. My
rotating banner doesn't work either - is there any way to fix that?

 

[Jon Spivey]

Hi,

I'm sure there is but we'd need to see this. Can you post up the url to the
offending page?

 

[Steve Easton]

Can you post a URL??

It is a strange thing.

Those links are in a commented area of code, yet they appear on the page.-

VML graphics - in this case a text box. Only visible on IE 5.5 and later on
Windows, and, as you said, commented out on other browsers.

Thanks for your help.

 

[Ronx]

You are using VML graphics (Word Art, Text Boxes, Shapes produced using the
drawing tool bar) for the links - these will only work in Internet
Explorer.
Unless you wish to ignore the (more than) 21% of users who do not use
Internet Explorer, do not use this type of object on a web page.

 

[Murray]

Ahh- but WHY do the link text items still appear?
