Hi there..

I have a poetry site and a lot of members. some of them, not all of them
cannot see the content in their pages.Text is missing from half way down the
page, this does not happen with everyone but I have 2 members who have this
problem and other problems viewing my site, do you have any ideas please?
 
Knowing the source code or URL would help. The browser information would
also help.

If you used FP Draw or any other Office product this could probably be the
problem
 
Hi Billy,

There's lots of things you can do when creating a web page/site....that are
not compatible across all browsers or operating systems. The situation
though is we would only be guessing at what the problems might be without
seeing for ourselves. I know you mentioned that it is a members site..but is
it possible for you to post a link?

Also ask the two people that cannot see it.... what type of computer and
also what type of browser they are viewing in.

page have used various browsers, firefox, ie7, slimbrowser and still its

Don't use text boxes. The are not all browser compatible.

Hi Billy,

The first thing that stands out on the link you provided is that you are
using a Marquee scrolling across the top. The Marquee is actually a Java
Applet. There are a lot of people with computers out there that do not have
Java Installed/Enabled. If they don't have it they will never see it..and it
may cause additional problems as well for them. I would star by removing any
Marquees you have...and then ask your members if they can then see the
pages.

Hi Joe...

ok I take your point re the marquee but thats not on the members pages?? its
the content they cannot see, they see so far down and then it is a black
screen, the text is in text boxes and they only see half of them??
 
Develop your website, don't design it with Frontpage.

I used those textboxes once in Frontpage and took a look at the source code.
I knew enough back then never to use them.

You might need to consider an imaging program or something else - maybe
tables / cells or divides?

I simple text box created this much code:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link rel="File-List" href="new_page_1_files/filelist.xml">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<!--[if !mso]>
<style>
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
o\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
..shape { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
</style>
<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>
<xml><o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1027"/>
</xml><![endif]-->
</head>

<body>

<p><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:rect id="_x0000_s1025"
style='position:absolute;left:21.75pt;top:13.5pt;width:141pt;height:57.75pt;
z-index:1'/><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;
position:absolute;z-index:1;left:28px;top:17px;width:190px;height:79px'><img
width=190 height=79 src="new_page_11_files/image001.gif"
v:shapes="_x0000_s1025"></span><![endif]></p>

When using a table it is something like:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 140px; height: 60px">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
 
Hi Billy,

Take a look at what Corey and the two Toms mentioned about text boxes..not a
good way to go..use tables and table cells for entering and organizing areas
of text. You could also use divs..but starting out with tables might be a
little easier.

Also do consider removing the marquees wherever you have those as well..very
problematic.
