1)I'm VERY new to FrontPage and creating web pages in
general. I have now published 2 sites and on one of them
people using Netscape cannot click on 'words' that have
been hyperlinked to other pages on the site.

Any suggestions?

2) I would like to use the Weather Channel on my site.
They have sent me code to insert and I'm not sure what to
do with it!

That's being a novice for you :)

Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated.

Are any of these words contained within WordArt,
AutoShapes, or other drawn objects? Those don't work in
Netscape.

This is tough without seeing the code, but try this:

1. Select the code.

2. In FrontPage, set the insertion point where you want
the Weather Cahnnel content to go.
3. Choose Pasete Special from the Edit menu.
4. Select Treat As HTML, then click OK.

If you paste something into the html area of frontpage
that has any html markup language in it like < or > or "
it will translate those items for you so that they can be
displayed on the screen so " ends up being &quote;. It's
a real pain and causes problems everywhere.

The solution is to put it into a program like wordpad or
something really simply that won't have the "hidden text
message" running in the background. That way when you
paste something it really pastes it and it won't get
translated by frontpage. Anyhow, this is a long
explanation for why this went bad but I thought you might
like to know.

So just take your weather channel stuff, paste it into
wordpad, then copy it from wordpad and paste it into the
html area that corresponds with where you want it on your
page.

good luck,
Andrea Barnes
 
Thanks Jim ~ I'll give 'paste special' a try. As for the
hyperlink not working on Netscape the 'word' that is
hyperlinked is plain text (Tahoma), in the middle of a
paragraph.
