Format of Firefox vs IE

Hi. I'm a newbie and created my first web site on Publisher 2007. I have
published it to the web, and it works perfect on IE. But in Mozilla Firefox,
there is 1 of ~25 pictures that shows upside down, and there is no music
playing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Also, where can you type the blurb in that Google etc. will see when someone
does a search for your site? Is this in web page options?

Congrats on choosing to test in both IE and FF. If your site renders and
looks ok in both, then it will work in the other major browsers.

I can only guess about the picture, but am guessing that you either rotated
the image after inserting it into Publisher or rotated it before inserting,
but either way the rotation did not stick when Publisher made a copy of the
image for the web. If you did rotate the image at some point, then try
saving it as a new image and inserting it again into Publisher.

Assuming you put the musac in the background (format > background), then
that only works in IE and does not work in FF and other browsers. The best
solution is to remove it entirely so even those viewing your site with IE
are not forced to listen to it. Yes it seems a good idea to put background
music in a website, but it is probably one of the most off-putting things
you can do for most people. Sorry, someone else will have to tell you how to
put background musac in so it works for all browsers.

I'm not sure if this will work, but to get the music to work in Firefox try
the following procedure:

1- Run your website in your local browser, and get to the page where the
music is supposed to be.

2- Click on "View", then on "Source", this will open the source document in
Notepad.

3- In the Notepad document locate the <BODY> tag.

4- Below the <BODY> tag insert the following code:
<embed src="full-path-and-name-of-the-music-file" autostart="true" hidden>

You can also add (between "true" and hidden) loop=1 if you want the music to
play only once, or loop=2 if you want it to play twice, etc. . . or
loop=infinite if you want it to play continuously.

5- When you finish entering the above code in the Notepad source document,
click on the "File" command of the document then click "Save".

6- Close the Notepad document and, finally, replace the HTM document of that
page on the server with the now revised HTM document.

I can't guarantee it will work, but that was the method used for the now
defunct Netscape Navigator.

Forget my previous post. I tested it and it does not work. Sorry.

Note however, that the background music will work as in I.E. for Firefox
users who have the FF additional plug-ins.
