hosting a website www.womencontemporaryartists.com. one page has stopped
working and can't re-create. it's the link to WCA exhibitions. the heading

with any website. using vista and frontpage 03 and godaddy server. godaddy
and microsoft have no answers.

<font color="#000000">Exhibition News &amp; Schedule</font>&nbsp;
&nbsp;</a>
to this page
http://www.womencontemporaryartists.com/WCA Exhibition.htm ?

If so, it works fine in IE8

But having pasted that text, I noticed that it didn't display until I went
into HTML mode and changed the text colour to black.

Perhaps the problem is that the background (bio_x_ray_qx_me.jpg) is not
being used by some browsers and so the background defaults to white. White
on white is a no-no display-wise (that is, you won't see it)

One idea that comes to me is to try changing
<body background="bio_x_ray_qx_me.jpg">
to
<body style="background: red url('bio_x_ray_qx_me.jpg')">

I note that W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com) has this info:
The background attribute was deprecated in HTML 4, and is not supported in
HTML 4.01 Strict DTD or in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD. Use CSS instead.
 
Look good on Opera Internet Browser Ver: 9.50.10081.0 and 10.10 <<And>>
On Fire Fox Browser Ver:1.8.6.0 <<and>> Internet Explorer Browser Ver: 6 and
7 <<and>>
On A MSN TV Browser Vary Good the Best is see in a long time!! I give you
a Hi Five for that one!!!
Man the all of the website look and work good with MSN TV
Now that a Good Job. For you are a HTML Artist too and Vary good Webmaster!
 
The background image is over 175K bytes, which will take some time to load
on a slow connection. It takes 2 seconds on my 10Mbs cable connection,
which is a long time when your used to almost instant responses.

A Trevor said, use CSS to provide a red background while the image is
loading - and try to make the image file size smaller by optimising in a
graphics editor.

Thanks to all for answering. Microsof told me that the page was seen in
full in Modzilla Firefox but that is no help to me. Strangely the page was
fine three days ago. What you are seeing now is just a partial view as there
are four more exhibitions posted as well as prize winners for Plymouth
Harbor. Our WCA members rely on this site and I just don't know how to fix
it since I can't even recreate the page starting with a blank. Any other
feedback is welcome. I will keep working on it and let you know if I find a
solution (or one of those mysterious computer miracles). regards.
 
The page content was apparently at one time created in Publisher
- will cause display problems in various browser including IE

The problem is at the end of the page in code view where you have

<![if pub11]>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</center></div>
<![endif]>

In Code View Delete
<![if pub11]>
and
<![endif]>

PS
Remove all spaces from file names
- they will create broken links on some browsers
