Why do links in my FrontPage web page not work in Firefox browser

S

Because the links under the images point back to your hard drive like this:

<a
href="../../../../../../Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/Web%20Page/webwadsworth_winter05/index.htm">

Which normally means you created them with out your web open, but just a
page.

Open FrontPage then your web by clicking File > Open site, then open the
page and try recalculating hyperlinks.
It might fix them.
If not you will need to recreate them.
Make sure you have your web open in FrontPage and then the page when you do
it and do *not* browse outside of the web folder to do it.

There are really lots of problems with this page. Almost all the buttons
link to files on your hard drive, as noted. See if you can remake two of
your buttons so that they don't have white at the corners.
How did you make/generate those? Did you resize the little snowmen within
FP? If so, don't. Use your image editing software to prepare your images
correctly. Take spaces ... represented by %20 out of your image, file and
folder names.
Don't use any absolute positioning.
Don't underline anything that is NOT a link. ... top of many pages.
How did you get all that vml Microsoft stuff?? Get rid of it.
Sorry, but those little characters on the left look too childish for a
library website.
Read this great article:

You also have at least two HEAD sections - besides the many other problems.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
<xml><o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1027"/>
</xml><![endif]-->
</head>

<body>
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta ht.... etc.


Go to www.W3C.org and try the HTML validator - I bet you will have hundreds
of errors.
