David,

Something is strange. I can see his web pages... but I still had a browser open from his original post. I visited another page then for some reason hit the back button. I got the directory listing again, but this time it had been updated and changed a tad:

Strange, because the browser has actually loaded a different folder.

Happy Easter!

You apparently have fixed it since Mike looked at it, and it loaded in IE6 and FF ok.

The reason that the images look different is that Publisher 2003 makes copies of any inserted image, in various formats, etc. with the goal of serving up the best image depending upon the browser viewing the page....with mixed results. That is why you are getting two different images. The only workaround is to import the images into the page rather than insert them. In this case I actually like the blue version and don't see it being a big issue.

I would also volunteer an opinion. There are reasons for long pages, and using anchor links, but in this case I think you have butchered your site by putting all the content on one page. Go back to individual pages...and as has been suggested before, forget about trying to save a dollar by using a free, framing webhost. You are a business person...think about it...is it worth saying $5 a month? Would you hire you after looking at this website? Just my 2 cents worth...

Hi Daivd,

You have been helping me with www.glamorganbook-keeping.co.uk .

I redesigned the site putting the five pages on to the first page, using its length. I then created a text box on each section of the page, with hyperlinks to bookmarks on each section. This works faster than separate pages and it works in both IE7 and FF2. I don't yet know about IE6.

You mentioned that you are interested in any issues with colour and pics.

I have used two colour jpegs in "Services" and "Contact us" and recoloured them to grey with 85% contrast. They appear correctly in FF2 but in IE7 they are coloured blue.

Thanks,

Matt
