Website Doesn't Display Properly in Macintosh IE Browser
|
|
|
| My website looks fine in microsoft internet explorer browser for windows. However, when I try to view it in Macintosh IE 5.1 it's a total mess. Additionally, my brother has Safari IE Mac OS 10 and he said that the left margin on the pages seem non-existen
t and the text is running off the page.
Please help. Thank you.

What do you think about Frontpage? Is that supported in all browsers? And, if so, can I import my existing Publisher website into Frontpage? Thanks!

| FrontPage being an actual web design tool lets you decide what kind of code
it should use and therefore what degree of support it will have in browsers.
I refer you to microsoft.public.frontpage.client to direct any inquires.
Yes you can, in FP go to File, Import, and import the html files.
But you don't want to do that. FP code is not the same as Pub code. You'll
have a mess.
Besides it would be pointless. The Pub code would still be in there. And
that's the issue.
You need from scratch FP code.
It's not a matter of "is FP supported in all browsers" or " is Pub supported
in all browsers".
It's a matter of "is the 'code they write' supported".
Since you control the code in FP the answer is up to you.

| thank you David. I just hope I can figure out how to use FrontPage -- I'm not a developer or programmer. I'd like to think that I'm technically savvy, so I'm hoping for the best. That was initially why I chose Publisher -- because I thought it was easier
to use. My software arrives today, so I'll check it out. And, also the newsgroup for frontpage that you suggested.

| I share your pain. Microsoft did give me my money back, and then
some, but I am stuck with a 300 page website stranded in Publisher
2000. It would take perhaps hundreds of hours to build my site from
scratch in another product.
I tried to move up to Publisher 2002 (XP), but it did not work worth a
darn. Then I tried to move to Front Page, and that was a disaster
also. I was going to give Publisher 2003 a try, but I see on this
forum the HTML is horribly bloated and my uploads are by dialup
connection. BTW, the HTML in Publisher 2002 was also bloated, but
there was a fix you could download early on (I do not know what was
done in the service packs later on). Further, the representation that
HTML was a "native language" in Publisher 2002 was outright false
advertising. Publisher 2002 cannot even properly process Publisher
2000 files, either.
Argh.
