Hyperlinks

I have Windows XP and use MS Office Professional Publisher 2003 and
I have created a website, http://www.ashesnight.com

When using another browser outside of IE most of the links do not work, the
navigation bars do work, but almost everything else does not work. I have
looked in help and tried to the use the Edit menu and click on Links;
however, Links is grayed out so I cannot go to Open Source.

Please be more specific as to which links do not work. I went to three pages
and they all worked, or there were no links. Give us links to the specific
pages you are having problems with.

When using Fire Fox or anything other than IE the following pages to do not
have working links (and it does not matter if the link is to another page in
the website , outside the website or an email) outside of the navigation bar:
Game Sites & Directions, Contacts, Rules, Links, & Vampire Games. These
pages have worked in the past, but the last month or so the links have not
been working in Fire Fox.

Pub 2003 produces two versions of code. One for IE, and another for other
browsers. For some reason when you fill a text box with a color in Pub 2003,
it converts that text box to an image for FF, and kills the links. If you
remove the fill color, the hyperlinks will work in FF. This of course messes
up your design.

I have found one workaround. Remove the fill color in your text boxes with
links. Then create a new text box without text, but with the fill color
exactly the same size as your text box with the text and hyperlink. Drag the
color filled text box over the one with the hyperlink, use the "snap to"
function to make sure that the edges of two text boxes line up exactly, then
go to Arrange > Order and Send to Back. The hyperlinks then survive Publish
to the web.
