hi david,

using: publisher 2003

i've made all the changes that you suggested below. however, by doing so
i've lost the only textbox that used to appear while using firefox. when i
try to view another page within the site, besides home, by typing in a URL,
an alert message appears saying "421 Too many connections (8) from this IP".
when i click 'ok' on the alert another alert appears saying "530 This is a
private system - No anonymous login". if i keep clicking a working 'contact
us' link, which is part of the page, does appear. all of the pdfs that i
attached by going into my host's control panel work in firefox.

my URL is: www.wsforchildren.org

thank you for any help.

Publisher code is designed to work best in IE, and you have limited cross
browser support. However, I have seen Pub 2003 sites that work just fine in
FireFox. Post the URL of your site, and perhaps we can help you trouble
shoot it.

Question 2 might have something to do with the problems you are having with
viewing your site with Firefox. Publisher is setup by default to produce an
index.htm file and a supporting folder called index_files that contains all
your images and your other *.*htm files...your other pages. Therefore when
it writes links to those other pages, it will have to include the folder in
the link. If you tried to "fix" this by rewriting the links, without the
folder index_files, then you may have messed up the structure. Furthermore,
Publisher uses relative links in the navbar, so don't try to "fix" the links
manually...they are being written as designed.

With that said, you do have the option of not using the supporting folder.
Tools > Options > Web tab and untick "Organize supporting files in a
folder". While you are there, untick "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG..."...this will reduce the size of your file and increase the loading
speed. If you do not use the supporting folder your additional pages will
then be named index_aboutus.htm, instead of aboutus.htm. Sometimes it helps
to understand all this when you Publish to the Web, to publish to a folder
on your hard drive where you can study the files and folder that are
generated. Be sure to have your computer set up to show extensions...

Hi,

Using: Publisher 2003 and Internet Explorer

Question 1: My page works when I test it/view it using Internet Explorer
but
if I go to it/view it using Mozilla or other browsers it shows a blank
screen
with only one of my textboxes visible---no images or navigator bars.

How do I fix this?

Question 2: I've been uploading using the steps suggested by publisher
2003
which do work, however, the url always becomes something like
address/index_files/aboutus.htm instead of address/aboutus.htm. i've fixed
it
in the past but off hand/at the moment don't know how i did it. does one
upload to a different host file, such as public_ htm to fix it?

thank you for your help,
~mary
