Another Mozilla Question

Undeterred by a certain poster's proclamations of my guaranteed failure, I've
decided to continue onward! In testing one of my initial websites with
FireFox, I noticed that the Navigational Hyperlinks on the first two pages of
my website work fine... but when you get to the third page (Property Details)
they don't work at all, nor do the other two hyperlinks I have on that page.
The links on this page work fine with IE. Please see:

Well... I think I solved half of my problem. On page 3, I had all of the
navigational links arranged as a "group". After ungrouping them, they now
work fine. However, my other two links for the map and video are still not
functional.

I'm wondering if my problem could be related to the following. I used a
slight background effect to soften the white space outside of the web page...
but then to created a rectangle with white fill, and placed it behind the
photos and text boxes, which would also be behind the two HTML Code Fragments
which I used for my map and video links. I'm also a little curious why the
map and video links appear slightly out of place in FireFox, but right where
I want them in IE.

The main navbar button links work for me in FF on the third page. The other
hyperlinks don't work because they have been converted to an image which
kills the links. All your text around those links has been converted to an
image. Possible reasons are that you are using word wrap around the image
(doesn't work in a Pub web document), that you are using a border
inappropriately, something you have done in order to get your "column" of
facts next to the picture, or possibly because you have used a fill color in
the text box. Change your design by removing and changing design elements
until you find that technique that is converting everything to an image, and
the links should then work.

Scottie,

The Nav Bar links on the third page work in Mozilla but the e-mail and
other link in the page do not. That's because it is being treated as an
image by Mozilla. It looks like you have drawn a rectangle over the text
with no color to it, but it is killing the ability to click on the
links. If you right-click on that part of the page, you get the option
to View Image, which shows the rectangle.

If Pub has the ability to Bring Object to the Front or Send them to the
back, I would make sure all text frames are in the front.

Terrific !

I think I had several issues going on. My nav links didn't work because I
had them grouped... My other links did not work because I had a rectangle
border around the entire web page which was "in front" of the links and text.
When I made sure my links and text boxes were "in front" (Arrange > Order>
Bring to Front), the links work, AND you can now highlight the text! Now I
guess I need to re-do the fonts using web safe fonts !

I find that all my internal site links work on the side bar but the ones on
the bottom do not in Foxfire but in IE7 they all work no matter what or where.
My problems are with the pics loading in IE7 Only in Foxfire do all the pics
load.
