Author Displaying an Expression Web Build on Firefox
Sue

2007-11-19, 1:13 am

Hope someone can help.....it doesn't look like this is a typical question
within this news group!
I'm revamping an existing web site built in Front Page with Expression Web.
I chose Expression because I liked the CSS capability. After building just
the header in Expression I published the page, and viewed in it IE and
Firefox. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised, but IE displays just
fine. FireFox on the other hand does not display as built! I search MSN
for a workaround and I found that they suggest using TABLES - yes, TABLES to
display various elements.
There must be another way to assure that the pages I build will display as
well in FireFox and they do in IE!
The page can be viewed at www.shopmaggiesworld.com/index2a/htm
Appreicate any help I can get!

Better to ask at one of these:

alt.html
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets

Specify what version of IE you're testing with.

Specify the correct URL: http://www.shopmaggiesworld.com/index2a.htm

And be prepared to be told that Frontpage is a terrible tool to build
HTML pages with.

The URL should be http://www.shopmaggiesworld.com/index2a.htm :-)

The page looks the same to me in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Here's screen captures:

What are you finding wrong about it?

Here, IE6 displays different layouts depending on screen width

IE6 #1: http://i18.tinypic.com/85pqd50.png tagline under logo
IE6 #2: http://i19.tinypic.com/8bysrns.png tagline at right of logo & partly hidden
IE6 #3: http://i19.tinypic.com/7y6u1kl.png tagline at right of logo



Firefox displays the same layout regardless of screen width

FFX #3: http://i2.tinypic.com/7y307ig.png

What do you want to see?
(a) Firefox to change layout like IE6 does?
(b) Firefox to perfectly centre the tagline under logo,
like IE6 #1 but unlike IE6 #2 & #3?
