Web site works in IE but not in Firefox - Help
      #367796 - Wed Oct 10 2007 12:05 AM

I have a website that was developed using MS Frontpage 2002. It works fine when I access it through Internet Explorer but will not load through Firefox. Any ideas how I can put this right please?

Problem is almost certainly that your site contains proprietary tags. These are tags which are not recognised by the W3C standards. Microsoft are notorious for using tags that are not standards compliant.

Usually it wouldn't stop Firefox from loading the page, or at least some part of it. Do you have it online? if so can you provide a link.

All the best - Duncan

Firefox is much more demanding for perfect coding than IE. Firstly, i'd ask myself if my website met w3c standards for html and css... if not - that's where i'd start.

I've never known a website not to load AT ALL, however websites being misaligned or totally jumbled is quite common, but can easily be sorted with CSS - before i realized how many customers my website was losing because it didn't work in FF i had similar problems; now, not only is my website optimized in FF - it's my default browser ;] funny how things work out.
