Re: Browser Question

As both Rob and I said, it appears that it is a server problem, and if your
host won't fix the issue, then perhaps you should consider moving the site.
However, given that Pub 2003 does have problems with cross browser support,
I would be hesitant to suggest that without knowing for sure. You may have
the same problem on other hosts. There are no articles about this as this
problem appears to be an aberration.

I looked at your site again, and it does not appear to be built from a
template, and I found myself wondering if you are using a master page?
Master pages are for print docs, not web docs. I guess I am wondering if it
is how you designed your site that is creating the problem. There seems to
be lots of layers, and a simpler design might work better...and I guess I am
talking about the way you have built the background with a variety of shapes
with text boxes on top...sometimes these things just don't translate well
into HTML. How did you make the irregular white background?

Also are you using Publish to the Web to produce your HTML, or Save As a Web
Page? You should be doing the first. And finally, have you run the design
checker under tools, to see if it spots anything wrong?

If you do have Pub 2000, then yes, if you reproduce the site in Pub 2000,
you will likely get better cross browser support, but you will have to build
a new navbar.

Good luck.

hi again,

i just read a bunch of old posts and have kinda figured out that the site
may not get any better than it is at the moment by bugging my host. oh
well.
i read a post saying publisher 2000 is better for the problem so i might
redo
a couple pages to see if it actually is better. oh well.

thank you,
~mary

hi guys,

i've talked to my host and i don't think she knows how to fix the
site/get
more of it to appear. does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone
seen/written any good articles on the subject?

thank you for all your help,
~mary

500 series are usually permissions errors on the server.
421 sounds like they have concurrent connections set really really low!

Are you hosting this yourself?

when i

'contact

that i
