problems with links (Frontpage design)
|
Hi there,
I am experiencing problems with FrontPage 2002 designed Web sites that allow the links to work with Internet Explorer (at least they do with IE6), but they don't work in very early versions of IE or with any Macs, as far as I can tell. The home page will open, but the links are not clickable. I don't know if this has any relevance to the problem, but the links also will not work in the "preview" mode of FrontPage. This includes simple hyperlinks--not just image links and rollovers. Does anyone have any advice? I would really appreciate it. One of the Web sites that I'm experiencing the problem with is my personal page, www.annagibson.com.
Many thanks!
Anna

I've just had a look at your site with IE and Netscape and the links all seem to work fine.
One thing I would suggest is that you learn about CSS as a way of formatting your site. If you then manually edit the pages to remove the unnecessary crap code that frontpage 2002 adds then it will make it a lot easier to look at the page code and see where errors are. CSS basically takes all the font info, background colour info etc and stores it in an external file, leaving the html file just containing the essentials.
Verifying your html code is also a good idea - use the online validator at
http://validator.w3.org/ to check it and then correct any mistakes it finds. What you'll find is that if the code isnt quite right then IE tends to ignore a lot of the errors, but other browsers may just reject the incorrect code so your page doesnt look/work quite right.
