Can't select images for saving

Hi,

I'm fairly new at web page development and the tools and techniques I
use are remedial at best. My first publish http://www.brameco.com was
developed with MS Word 2003 ( I know, I know). I've managed to work out
most of the errors on my site however I'm having a problem with the
images. For some reason when you visit the website and try and
right-click and image to save it, the option does not appear. It
appears that the images are somehow unselectable. I don't know if this
is a result of the tag types used by MS Word or if its some other
issue. I created the site in design mode almost completely and
therefore have had little control over what html tags MS Word chooses
to throw in there. If anyone has any advice on how to make my images
"selectable" or "savable" I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Derek

That's a good start. :-) (that you know about it) Your main page has
about 600 extra lines of cruft.

Umm, you've missed a few... about 111 of them.

Do you mean the animated gifs? In Firefox and Opera, I was able to
right-click and save those to my local drive, but not in IE6. That's
funny.

BTW, animated stuff is generally considered detrimental to the wellbeing
of a web site. It captures the user's eyes and takes them away from your
content.

Perhaps you would like to investigate other editors. NVu is
oft-recommended for newbies:

Much appreciate Mr. Shagnasty. I'll try some of your recommendations.
