Re: Editing HTML in publisher

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

They look ok in IE7, but some are poor quality or pixilated in FF3. If Mo
uses the compress graphics feature it will help on some of the images.
Publisher will frequently make a poor quality gif of oversized .jpgs, but if
the image has been compressed and sized appropriately, it just copies the
original image. But it is much harder to get banner images looking correct.
The compress graphics feature does not work on graphics smaller than 100 kb,
so optimizing and sizing in a third party image editor before inserting is
the best way I have found...

Yep working in IE7 and Chrome.
Images look like *very* poor gifs though - the did before as well, but one
problem at a time I was thinking.

Chuckle...it is this sort of thing that keeps humbling me. About the
time I think I get some things figured out, poof...confusion reigns.

Hopefully when the site is fixed and sorted out it will work for
everybody.

Ok. It appears that the problem I had the last time I looked at
your home page in FireFox was not a Master Page issue, but an issue
with you not uploading all the files, and specifically the images,
to the web server...they actually show up today. I will address
your uploading issues in your other message today. Also, I suspect
that many of the problems you are describing with the content not
being updated has to do with the same thing, or more likely that
when you view the pages in question, you are still seeing the old
page, and not the new.

So first of all what browser and which version are you using to
view your pages? In the browser go to Help and then About IE or FF
or whatever the name of the browser, to see the version.

Next, what happens when you go to a page that does not seem to have
been updated, and hold down your CTRL key and hit the F5 key? This
forces your browser to reload and refresh with the most recent
version of the page. It sounds like when you looked at your pages
after making changes that your browser just showed you the old one
that is in your internet cache on your computer.

When I look at your Contact Page & Maps I do see the "ariel view"
link in both IE and FF.
http://www.tomstruckingmn.com/index_files/Page1196.htm (by the way,
this is what I meant when I said give us specific links to the
specific issues you are talking about. It saves us the time of
following your links around trying to find the errors.) I suspect
that the reason you don't see the ariel view link is because you
looked at an old version of that page. Try the Ctrl + F5 after the
page loads. Do you see the ariel view link now? In general do you
see your new updated pages?

All your links work just fine in IE7. Assuming that you are using
FireFox or some other browser than IE, the reason the links are not
working is that all the text has been converted to images, which
kills the links. One way to tell is to left click and drag across
some of the text and try to select it. You can't because it is an
image. Here are a few of the images that are created for FF:
http://www.tomstruckingmn.com/index_files/image740.gif
http://www.tomstruckingmn.com/index_files/image459.gif
I suspect the reason you are getting these images is because you
have grouped together those design elements. You seem to be using
lines that you have drawn to create your outside border and then
grouped those lines with the top banner etc. Select those lines and
go to Arrange > Ungroup. Make sure you ungroup everything on your
pages except for the navbar and don't group it with any other
design element.

Try the refresh page directions I gave you, and the ungroup
directions, and post back with your results and remaining issues,
along with the browser you are using, and we will go from there.
Oh, and by the way always do a Tools > Design checker to see if
that finds errors. I forget to mention this...

When I view master pagem there is nothing showing. All the links
I updated
like Home on every page doesn't work. End dump link on main page
still links
to the home page even though it is correct on my publisher
document. My
contact page still has the old contacts from wizard. I have new
links added
to Contact Page & Maps for "ariel view" which are not showing.
About Us,
Contact Us, Side Dump & Belly Dump seem to have a double vision of
"A Team
Quality Service" which are not in my original publisher file.
Can't think of
anything else but everything I changed on my original upload
document is not
changing upon new upload. I have tried using "Publish to Web",
upload
directly from GoDaddy & tried using FileZilla but haven't been
able to
connect. Like I originally stated I'm a real newbie to this so I
don't know
what to do! Thanks so much for all that you guys to do help us
out!

Mo,

All the links on the home page seem to be active. Which ones do
not
work...please be specific and provide links to the pages where
you are
having problems. Help us help you.

The main problem I saw with the home page is that you apparently
are putting
your banner and other design elements on a Master Page. Don't. If
you go to
View > Master Page and you have any design elements there, you
need to move
them back to the main page. Unfortunately you should not use a
Master Page
with Publisher webs. It works fine in a print document, but can
create
problems in a web. In this case if you look at your homepage in
FireFox none
of the graphics load (FF has 22% of the browser market).

A small thing...select and nudge the bar, address material, and
the truck
picture down
a bit. The bar is overlapping the text above it.

Otherwise, I really like your site. Though I only looked at a few
pages, I
think you have done a really good job
in the design. I like how tight it is... And yes, it will look
even better
when you figure out the coding for centering it. The way you have
designed
it, centering it will really work well. It is really not that
hard, but that
can wait.

Move everything off the Master Page and republish that, and see
how many of
your issues go away. But, once again, please post back with
specifics about
what links are wrong or not working.

Thanks for all the info. I guess at this point I have to
wait on the
centering issue & deal with another more important one. I
finally got
my
graphics to load & links to somewhat work. I still have
issues on
links
that
I fixed & they don't seem to be coming up correctly yet. I
uploaded
the
new
index.htm, but am confused as to the changes not being
there.
Everything
works fine when viewing in publisher.

A Donald Canned Response -

Thanks to "Spike" who has given us this:

The fix to center pages using publisher 2003 and 2007
Publish to your hard drive
Edit the htm file(s) and replace </head> with

</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"
width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
(All on one line)

If you are using a page width different than 760 pixels
change that
number
in the above line

If you have multiple pages you might want to look at
<http://www.emurasoft.com/replall/> a simple replace lines
in multiple
htm
files

Then ftp the files to your ISP
