Re: Unable to return to home page

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Good guess, but when you see all the text bunched up on the left hand side
like that in FF, it usually is because of the VML. If you uncheck that
option under tools > options > web tab, that fixes the majority of problems
with the page rendering correctly in FF. MSFT removed that option in 2007,
which was a move in the right direction at least.

If the user puts the navbar or any images on a Master page, that usually
results in those elements not being visible when viewed in FF, or in some
cases causes other errors.

And this sight totally does NOT work in Firefox.
As David often advises, many people use Firefox and it is a good idea to
download it and test your sight with it as well as IE.

I can see two basic mistakes that are easily fixed. One...do not put any
spaces in file names. It isn't even good practice to do it with folder
names when it comes to web files and folders. The second mistake, and
most importantly, when you Publish to the Web, save the file as
"index.htm", not "krav maga oregon.htm", and then rename it index.htm.
When you save as "index.htm" this will create a home page called
"index.htm" and the supporting folder will be called "index_files". So
Publish to the Web and this time create the correctly named file and
folder, upload them, and while you are there, delete the "krav maga
oregon.htm" file and the ""krav maga oregon_files" folder.

Also before you republish, be sure to go to Tools > Options > Web tab
and uncheck "rely on vml..." and "allow png..." and "...incremental
uploads...".

Then compress your graphics. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to
create smaller Publisher Web pages (2003):
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011266301033.aspx
and you will be ready to republish your web files.

I have been looking here for two days to find an answer to my question,
but I
don't seem to find it, so here goes...

I am using Publisher 2003 to create a website: www.kravmagaor.com. I
used
design checker and resolved any problems that were caught by the
program.
When i preview the site, it all works fine and I can navigate back to
the
home page just fine.

So I "published to the web" and saved the file as "krav maga oregon" on
my
desktop. I then used WS_FTP to upload the file to my website at
Hostmysite.com sucessfully. From the FTP server I changed my "home
page" to
"index.htm".

Now for the issue... I then go online to check the site and all looks
great
(except slow to load graphics) that is until I try to navigate back to
the
home page. I can tell in the URL that it is looking for
"http://www.kravmagaor.com/krav%20maga%20oregon.htm"; which is not the
name of
my home page "index.htm"...

I tried to change the names of the files, deleted and changed the
navigation
bars...I have no clue what I am doing and how to fix this error? If
anyone
has some help to offer, it would be greatly appreciated... also, I was
thinking about purchasing Frontpage or another web design software
program..
any recommendations?
