Website display issue in IE7

I

im_etten

I have a website I created with FrontPage 2002. It was working fine and
displayed properly in IE6. I tried FireFox and it also works with that
program. I do not know much about HTML coding, but I want to fix my website.
The site is www.meettheettens.com Can some explain why my page looks funny
and I lost my links to the other pages? I had never has a problem unitl I
upgraded to IE7. Do I need to upgrade my version of FrontPage? Is there a new
patch or fix? I also noticed that in IE6 my webpage worked fine and all my
links worked properly. I went to the page one day and I clicked on a link and
it gave me an error "Web page not found". I know the page works because I can
get to it from other links on different pages. Can someone explain why it
suddenly stopped working?

I did get a repsonse when I originally placed this topic in the IE7 forum
and this was the repsonse I got:

You might want to ask in the FrontPage newsgroup. Your site doesn't work
well in IE7, Avant or Opera Browsers.
Off hand, I would check the width of the navigation buttons. They appear to
be two wide for all to fit in the frame.


Thanks

One issue you're having is that you have links that point to files on what
looks like a network drive rather than a file in the web. For example:

<!--webbot bot="ImageMap" text="(8,14) (321,81) {The Ettens} {Tempus Sans
ITC} 40 B #ffffff CT 0 " border="0" src="buster.gif"
u-originalsrc="buster.gif" u-overlaysrc="file:///Z:/Web Page/New Web
Page/Template/index.html_txt_buster.gif"

Where it says file:/// that meams that you're referencing a file outside of
your web so anyone viewing it from a location that can't see your "Z" drive
won't see the image. You need to import all images and files into your web
first and then link to them.

Another strange thing is that even though your domain name is
meettheetens.com all of your links say http://home.mchsi.com/~j.etten/ and
then the page name. Why the server is set up that way is unusual. The web
should point to the domain not redirect like that.
