Mozilla doesn't show master page elements; hyperlinks don't work M

My webpage shows up perfectly using Internet Explorer and all links work.

However, in Mozilla, no elements of the Master page display, no hyperlinks
work, and some photos look terrible (photos look great on Internet Explorer.

On the Mac, the home page displays properly, but no hyperlinks work at all
and the same two photos are terrible quality (one photo is good quality).

Publisher 2003 frequently has cross browser issues as it is designed to work
primarily with IE. It produces different code for other browsers.

Do not use Master Pages. It is intended for print publications, not web
publications.

For the best images, size and optimize your images in a third party image
editing program before you insert them into the Publisher doc, and so they
can be scaled at 100% (format > Picture > Size > Scale).

Alternatively, you can try: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller
Publisher Web pages:

but optimizing your images before inserting them gives better results. In
some cases, importing the images is the best fix.

If you are using the navbar wizard to produce the navbars, then the bottom,
horizontal navbars do not work in FF. You need to use either the vertical
navbars, or replace the bottom navbars with hand built navbars.

Go to Tools > Options > Web tab. Uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...". Perhaps switch Encoding to Unicode UTF-8 coding, and if that is
what you are already using, try Western European (ISO).

Run the design checker under tools.

Download and install FF even if you don't want to use it for browsing. Then
when you publish to the web, direct your output to your computer somewhere
you can find it. Open FF, File > Open and browse to where you saved your
files and open the index.htm file to test your html before you upload the
pages.

Post the URL of the site, and we can make other suggestions about remaining
issues.
