Viewing FrontPage on a Mac

[Shianne517]

Hello,

My web site is www.robertshermansfit.com and I've been receiving complaints
that all of the links are static and the page doesn't look right when viewed
on a Mac using IE5 and Safari. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sara Molovinsky

Suggest you look at the site in FireFox or Netscape on Windows. It is
not good.

In IE the links in the Marquees do not look like links (no hand
cursor), but they are OK in FireFox.

You are using VML graphics - WordArt, Text Boxes and/or shapes
produced from the FrontPage or Office drawing toolbar. VML graphics
use absolute positioning (which can cause problems if not used
carefully) and can only be seen in Internet Explorer 5.5 and later
running on Windows. Other browsers will see either nothing at all, or
low quality down-level .gif images replacing the VML.

Also, attributes such as
style='position:absolute;
left:227.25pt;top:17.25pt;width:191.25pt;height:66pt;z-index:2'
may give problems:
pt (points) are a print dimension, 1pt=1/72 inches - points have
nothing to do with screen displays - a browsers interpretation of
positioning using pts is open to interpretation.

There is also some underlined text that look like links, if they are
they do not work.
On the web, anything underlined is usually interpreted as being a
link.
