Publisher's main purpose is not web design - it's desktop publishing. It can
also be used to create a simple site but since it's a Microsoft product, you
shouldn't be surprised when it doesn't function properly on a non-MS
browser.

JoAnn, if you have nothing to contribute to the question why waste time
posting these cut-n-paste answers. If MSFT didn't intend for people to ever
use Publisher for any type of web design....they wouldn't have added PUBLISH
TO WEB options within their software. Not everyone has time to sit and
develop websites and only need something relatively simple. I myself have
been working through Publisher issues to publish a website. I am aware that
Expression Web and Dreamweaver are much more powerful tools for this, but
that would be overkill for what I need. If there is a workaround for this it
would be much appreciated.

DavidF said:Joel,
Just ignore JoAnn. She knows little to nothing about producing a website
with Publisher, and has no intentions of learning. In most cases you can
make a Publisher built website cross browser compatible. And I agree, that
if your goals and the scope of your site is relatively modest, Publisher can
be a good tool to build your site.
As you did not provide a link to the problem page(s) or links or tell us
what version of Publisher you are using, I will suggest the basic fixes:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...". The "Rely on VML..." option has be removed from Pub 2007.
2. Do not use a Master page in a web publication.
3. Ungroup any design elements with hyperlinks, such as text boxes grouped
with images. The grouping tends to create combined images which kill the
links.
4. Along the same lines as #3, if you are using a bottom navbar that is
built with the navbar wizard in Publisher, you must ungroup that set of
links from the wizard. Otherwise it will be converted to an image and the
links won't work.
Try those fixes, and if they do not help, then post back with the version of
Publisher you are using, and links to the pages with the links that are not
working.
And though it is not link related, be sure to compress your images and
graphics before you upload your new html files.

Just ignore JoAnn. She knows little to nothing about producing a website
with Publisher, and has no intentions of learning. In most cases you can
make a Publisher built website cross browser compatible. And I agree,
that
if your goals and the scope of your site is relatively modest, Publisher
can
be a good tool to build your site.
As you did not provide a link to the problem page(s) or links or tell us
what version of Publisher you are using, I will suggest the basic fixes:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and
"Allow
PNG...". The "Rely on VML..." option has be removed from Pub 2007.
2. Do not use a Master page in a web publication.
3. Ungroup any design elements with hyperlinks, such as text boxes
grouped
with images. The grouping tends to create combined images which kill the
links.
4. Along the same lines as #3, if you are using a bottom navbar that is
built with the navbar wizard in Publisher, you must ungroup that set of
links from the wizard. Otherwise it will be converted to an image and the
links won't work.
Try those fixes, and if they do not help, then post back with the version
of
Publisher you are using, and links to the pages with the links that are
not
working.
And though it is not link related, be sure to compress your images and
graphics before you upload your new html files.

Joel said:JoAnn, if you have nothing to contribute to the question why waste time

It sounds like you already know that you need FPSE in order to get the form
to work. You do not have them activated for your site:

my
form page . I took the page down, so I can not send you the link right
now.
It appears that maybe Comcast does not support Frontpage98 server
extensions
3.0 or higher. This may be the problem for me.

Ungrouping totally fixed the problem for me...how simple!
Joel said:No...I think it was ungrouping that helped...thanks!!!
DavidF said:Looks like you fixed it. The navbar is working now in both IE and FF. Was
there anything else?

Joel said:URL is www.transgraphicsinc.com and I am using Pub. '07. I did not use a
master page either. My links are set up as plain text that are hyperlinked
rather than a nav bar.
Thanks for your help David.
