Mac's accessing web pages created by FP

[jeremyb]

I have created a webiste using FP 2002 and my sister who uses a MAC (graphic
Artist) can't get some of the links to work within the site when she visits
the site.

Anything I can do with the FP software so that it will work for MAC's?

Post a link to the page with the problem, and tell us which links, please.
Macs do HTML the same way as PC's do. There must be some errors on the
page, to cause this....

Typical issues would be hover buttons and vml graphics

In the upper left corner Under "Friday after 5" it is the click here, that
is one of the problem links.

Two thangs;
1- photogallery doesn't work on Macs and other browsers as well.
2- remove spaces from the page file name they'll appear as %20 so rename
Friday%20after%205.html to something like;
friday-after-5.html all lower case, no spaces.

As Mike said - VML graphics.
The links in the blue box are contained in a VML text box. These links
will only work in Internet Explorer running on Windows. Other browsers
and operating systems will see a poor quality image of the text, with NO
working links.
Find an alternative for the text box, such as a table or <div>.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/VML-graphics.htm for more
information.

Errors may include but not limited to spaces in the file names like "home
page.html"- it is best to use the file name in of of the following ways
"homepage.html"
"home_page.html"
"home-page.html"

The above three examples do not have spaces between the words of the file
name, if it is a long name. I know the issue with spaces in the file names
causes links to break in some browers like Firefox - and this issue is
probably what is causing the problem on your sister's Macintosh and whatever
browser she's using.
