Link Bar in FireFox not wrapping

[Sinclair]

Hello,
I have searched thru all FireFox questions/answers but haven't found how to
fix this problem.

In IE my navigation menu (link bar) at top of page wraps around to several
rows, but in FF it doesn't and goes very wide.

http://www.alabamaecw.org/

I am using a Dynamic Web Template and the Link Bar is based on the
Navigation View.

Any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks

Actually that page I put link for is not using the template.

Here is a page using the template: http://www.alabamaecw.org/WhatsNew.htm

But have same problem with or without the template.

Thanks

You are using a FP nav bar which add <nobr> around all your links
- best not to use FP nav bar for that reason alone
Unfortunately there is no way to prevent FP from adding the <nobr> tags

FireFox is displaying the page correctly, IE is incorrectly wrapping the
nav bar on the / character.
The only ways to wrap the navigation bar in all browsers are:
Use the default style nav bar: example: [home] [about] [contact us]
(looks ugly, but will wrap in all browsers)
Or create your own navigation.

A third option is to use several custom navigation bars, each of which
display a small selection of links, but short enough to not require
wrapping.

Ugly I could live it if it would work and let me keep using the Link Bar
based on Navigation view - That route is very helpful when I have a lot of
pages like I do in this site.

I changed it to the bracket style, but it is still not wrapping. Did I not
choose the correct style?

OK, just so I understand: why can't I see the <nobr> tag in the coding?

Thanks for your help.

No, you chose the bracket *style*

This is not the same as the default brackets.

Use
Insert->Navigation - Link Bar - Bar based on Navigation --Finish
On the Style Tab, chose "Use Page's Theme" , do NOT choose a style.

This will produce a link bar that will wrap.
