Thank you for the info. What can I do to make this look better in Firefox?
My link near the bottom and email link do not work either. Also the picture
swapping on the banner and the lodge do not work.
 
Thank you for the info, I still can't figure out how to make it look good in
Firefox. The photo swapping on the banner and the lodge do not work and the
link for the virtual tour and email do not work. What can I do?
 
To make things work in FireFox you MUST drop the VML graphics. VML
comprises text-boxes, WordArt, ShapeArt and everything else produced
from the drawing toolbar.
FireFox, Opera and other non-IE browsers render all this VML as poor
quality .gif graphics (in your site I would say very poor quality) -
pictures of links do not work in any browsers, nor does pictures of
JavaScript (reminds me of the Goon Show where currency was typically
"photographs of shillings").

For more information on VML see
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/VML-graphics.htm

Additionally, mailto links (which are very good for collecting spam) do
not work in browsers which do not have an associated email client. Many
users use web mail, which, as far as I know, cannot be associated with a
browser as an email client.

Your email link does work in my copy of FireFox, as does the virtual
tour link - the page http://www.mainelodgeforsale.com/Lodge/vtour.htm
needs text colour to be set, this displays as orange in my FireFox
setup. The link itself ends after the words Virtual Tour, though the
underline continues to Information. I cannot see the cause for this,
but it may be the absolute positioning and overlapping layers being
used.

Recreate without using the drawing features of FrontPage.

Option- printscreen the good version, paste into Paint, then
cut and paste the desired graphics into a new instance of
paint and save individually. Import the saved images into FP
and then use the imported image instead of the VML version
