Top Border Menus Stretch off forever in Firefox

All's well in Internet Explorer, however my site's top border's menu runs off
the screen and doubles the width of the page.

Is there a way to control this down to the screen's width? I tried to place
the menu entirely in a 95% width table 1 row x 1 column but that hasn't made
any difference.

Any help is appreciated,

I am making the assumption (dangerous practice) that you are using a
FrontPage text link bar, but not the [ link ] variety.

If this is the case, then FireFox is displaying the link bar correctly -
there should NOT be any breaks or word wrap.

Consider this snippet from the Link Bar (using Dots as an example):

</A></nobr>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;<nobr><A HREF=
The links in this link bar are coded so that they cannot word wrap,
although IE manages to do so at the bullet (&bull;), which is the wrong
behaviour.

Your choices are to
1) use a different style that allows word wrapping (the default style,
[ link ], is the only one I know of).

2) In FP2003, create your own style that allows wrapping - requires
editing the file at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
11\1033\botstyle\navbars.ini, copy one of the existing styles, and edit
the copy - give it a new name. Example, copy [Dots], rename the copy to
[Dots2], and
replace
H-Separator="&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;"
with
H-Separator=" &bull;&nbsp;"
replace
name=Dots
with
name=Dots2

Caveat - this will place a bullet at the start of the second row.


3) Use two or more custom link bars, so that they will wrap at the
"joins".
