compatability

[Jan]

I just uploaded a new website designed in Frontpage 2003. It works
fine in IE, with the exception of a few design problems, however it
will not work in netscape of mozilla. The home page, index, comes up
but none of the links work. I went to page options, authorizing and
checked to work in netscape and explorer, but that doesn't make a
difference. website is, www.pinewoodridingcenter.com. Any suggestions
out there?

Probably because you've used VML - autoshapes, textboxes, draw...or anything
from the Draw Toolbar is IE5+ only. Other browsers will display nothing/gray
boxes/or downlevel gifs. Don't use them unless you can control your viewers
(like on an intranet with everyone using IE).

Also, if you are on a unix/linux server you should remove spaces (they will
appear as %20) from folder and file names...and stick to lower case as well.

It looks like you have spaces in a lot of the file names, some browsers
don't like that.

http://www.pinewoodridingcenter.com/our facility2.htm etc.should be
changed so that the spaces are underscores "_"

And what version of Netscape?

Personally, I check our sites in IE6 and Firefox 1.5+, and Opera 8+, nothing
else. Netscape and the others is like 3% or less of the market combined.

Links in text boxes will never work in any browsers other than
Internet Explorer.
In my opinion, VML graphics (WordArt, TextBoxes, ShapeArt and other
objects created from the drawing tool bar) should never be used on a
publicly accessible web site.
