Can someone please help me with this issue I am trying to clean up on our
company website. Although it looks while I'm in FP that I've ended the
background I inserted when viewed live or in the browser it shows it running
on and on making the page really long with no content on it. An example is
on the Biographies page of our website www.accipitersystems.com - in FP I
ended that cloud background right after the copyright information. This has
to be some sort of formatting problem and maybe there are a few different
things I can try. Please help!
 
WOW...... Where to start?

Was this an Office (word) File?

Yes as a matter of fact it was. I had forgotten about that. Apparently that
makes a difference? I had cut and pasted the bio's from a word doc.
 
The problem lies in the "code"
In IE browsers it looks OK (because they know about "Office" mark-up)
But other browsers don't.... so it is way off in them.......
Sample screen shot here from Fire Fox browser..
http://www.xmas-i-am.com/test/images/3.jpg

I sized down the image but you can see the alignment is off and at the
bottom it has a horizontal scroll bar to go further to the right.

My first clue was this...

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
and
<link rel="File-List" href="index_files/filelist.xml">

The above code is not from FrontPage.

With all the Office mark-up (Note I don't call it HTML) on the page you
might be better off starting over with a blank page.
All of the code at the top sets something in the <body> it will be hard to
figure out everything....

<!--[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]-->

Is all Office mark-up stuff....

Hopefully someone else might have a better answer.

John, is the "Office" code showing up just in the bio page? You show me the
first page of our website in foxfire and that is messed up as well. Are all
the pages bad or just the ones that are running long? I think the bio page
is the only one that I did a cut and paste from. Maybe some of the pages
that have articles on them in the Press room as well. Any more direction
that you can give me regarding this would be very appreciated.

indicates Word or some other MS Office app was used, as opposed to
FrontPage. Pretty much every page on your site has that in the head. You
can use info from Word docs to "populate" your web page, but copy and paste
into Notepad first, then copy and paste from Notepad into FP.

It looks like every page is that way.

That code - or very similar - is also generated when using VML
graphics in FrontPage.
VML is WordArt, TextBoxes ShapeArt and any other object from the
drawing tool bar.
In my opinion, VML should never be used on a web site, unless the site
is an intranet and every user is using Internet Explorer on Windows,
with a fixed size browser viewport.

I redid the biographies page typing in all the biography information. I am
still having the same problem. The gif graphic is scaling but the text is
not.
 
Applying Auto Stretch to each page solved the problem. Alot simpler than
redoing every page in my website.
