Hyperlinks-and browsers

[south]

Hi, I really enjoying using publsiher and currently using 2003, to build
websites, But having problems with links and different browsers. If I
highlight text and add hyperlink, it will work in MS-Browser, but not in
Mozilla. If I use the hot spot tool it works in both browsers. The answer
would most likely be use hot spot tool, but it takes up more room on page and
is not as neat as apose to hyperlinking text.

Any help here apprieciated

Craig,

Pub 2003 is designed to work best with IE, and has limited cross browser
support. The good news is that you have found a work-around. You might also
try writing absolute links vs. relative links, but you might also put
something to the effect that "This site is best viewed in IE" on your home
page somewhere, so those who use Firefox or other browsers can switch.

The FAQ page - http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 - covers
the common reasons for linking problems. One of which is framing. I suspect
you are framing. You didn't post a URL for me to review so as I could verify
that (View menu, Source, spot frameset). In some cases Publisher codes a
relative link versus an absolute link, and in some cases the links are in an
image versus inline. Framing will break the relative links. Different
browsers treat the code differently so that one browser may get relative
links when another does not. The best case solution is to not frame the site.
Otherwise you want to explictly use absolute links.

Thanks for your help, my ignorance will probably show now but I have to ask,
how do I not frame a publisher website 2003. I did not intend to frame or not
to frame. I just built the website not nowing wether it is framed or not.

It's not Publisher. Publisher doesn't even support framing.

If you would post a URL then I'd be able to stop assuming.

Did you buy a domain, but publish to another URL, then redirect your site to
the domain?

Sorry, www.hm.agzoo.com it is uploaded as a subdomain to first get all the
bugs out ect, Different browser thing really frustrating me. worked around
links nearly, but if you view in IE it looks ok but go to mozilla and looks
not so ok. I need to have websites that work in different browsers.

David,

I think the OP said that his links DO work in IE, but not Mozilla
Firefox...but I could be wrong ;-)
