Once again, what do you mean by "I don't like having to program an entire
interface every time I log on."? IE and FF can live happily together, and
there is no programming involved with FF. I installed FF primarily to test
websites, but have found that I actually enjoy it more than IE in some ways.
If you want to be serious about this website of yours, you need to install
it and use it. Its your website, not ours.
The rest of your questions I answered as best as I could in your post above.

The last time I had FF on my system it took me weeks to remove its traces.
How if FF2 better than FF1? I don't like having to program an entire
interface every time I log on. (That's one good thing about MS.) I'll take
your word for the FF problems. No on e I know around here uses it.
I will make that change this afternoon and try to optimize the pix, too -
I
downloaded that program. I'll let you know. oryou can check the site about
8PM CDT.
What other browsers are you all using?
And none of you answered my other query: How do I find
the correct image name on my site to create and image link? Pub renames
everything. I can't even try to guess: one of home page pix was #297 on
the
image list on my computer.
Also, How do I HREF to a point on another page. On both glass art &
jewelry
lists, these are part of a menu list of HREFs same page links. I was
hoping
that those were the links that didn't work.

You really should download and install FF 2.0, and test your site on your
computer. You simply direct the html output from Publisher to your hard
drive, instead of your host's server. Then open the index.htm file with
FF.
I believe the links that don't work that Mike referenced are your main
navbars at the top and bottom of your pages. In FF, these are converted
to
an image, and the links are killed.
One of the advantages of using a dial-up modem, if there is any, is that
I
can see the different image placeholders load along with the ALT tags.
When
I watch your page load, it appears that your menu/navbar text frame is
overlapping images, which I believe results in the text box being
converted
to an image in the code Publisher produces for non-IE browsers. To fix
the
problem, adjust your layout so that nothing overlaps the navbar text box.
If
you have installed FF, you can test this out on the home page, and try
the
top navbar first. When you open the fresh index.htm file in FF, mouseover
the links and see if they work. If they don't, try to select the text in
the
navbar...if you can't, then it is an image.
If you really don't want to make the time to download FF yet, then make
the
changes to the top and bottom menu of your index.htm file, and upload it.
Post back when you want Mike or I to look at it. Don't waste a lot of
time

I thought all of you knew what it was!
David,, which links aren't working? I know the page to spot on another
page
isn't up. Are NONE of the links working, even the HREFs?
I posted a query about using the image as a link - I'd like the photos
on
the Home page to link to the individual sections. How long did it take
to
load with all those pix?
As for the black background - nothing I did woulld change the color of
the
links to a lighter shade. Is that because the page has the style squib
at
the
top? (I can't re-style mid-page!)
The interpage links and the thumbnail links are next. AND the shopping
cart.
But I've got to catch up on work (the spiders will be upset) before I
spend
the required hours for that.
Can you tell anything at all from the pictures there now? I've got a
18"
monitor at hi res. I've got to check in on the TV in the basement to
see
what
it looks like on that - a hi-res tv is low -es compared to a monitor.
Did
the
fancy text on the glass pages come up - I think I got all of them
installed
as pictures.
Have fun tearing it apart. If you can't find some of the code, let me
know.
You wrote most of it, cutting weeks off the development time!
MANY thanks to all of you.

Kat,
And your links don't work in Mozilla. :-( I also find the dark blue
(?)
text on the black background hard to read, but the mouseover effect
makes
it easier.
