dreadful in Mozilla et al?
All the tables are partly visible in other than IE.
ACH!
I'm loosing my nerve here!

Any snippet of code available I could use?
 
Hi Granny,

The biggest problem you have is that you used Word to create your HTML. This
is generally a *very bad* idea. While other Office products, like Word,
Outlook, and Access, can produce HTML, it is proprietary HTML, and generally
only works in Internet Explorer, and not well at all on the WWW.

There are a number of other secondary problems, which are almost entirely
caused by using Word to create your HTML (BTW, the is what FrontPage is
*designed* for), such as CSS class references to CSS classes that do not
exist ("MsoNormal", "text"). There is only 1 class mentioned in the CSS
style sheet embedded in the document: "MsoTableGrid" and that has problems.
For example, the border style is "1.0pt solid windowtext" - This should
indicate the size, border-style, and color. However, "windowtext" is a
proprietary Microsoft Office color spec.

Bottom line is, the WWW is full of every type and kind of computer there is.
Don't use anything but FrontPage to do your HTML development, and learn
something about HTML to ensure that you use it correctly.

Ah-ha!
So it's because I transferred a table fm Word to FP?
If I make the table in FP itself, this shouldn't then occur, should it?

Use FP (not Word) to build your web pages and site, and you'll be fine.

Hi
Also if you are going to use the text you created in word copy and paste
special unformatted into wordpad first to remove any word formatting
