Re: Website only views in IE

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

DavidF,
I don't mean to interupt, but I think I'm having the same problem. I
created a website in MS Publisher, and it works great in IE but the links
don't work with other browsers. The homepage will open fine, but then the
links to the other pages don't work at all. Our website is
www.grobengineering.com Any ideas? I created the links by highlighting
text and clicking hyperlink, then specifying the page to link to.

Ok. You can continue to build your site with multiple Publisher files, but
you have to upload the supporting folder for each as they contain the images
for the pages. You said that you don't know how to upload the 'dents_files'
folder or the other supporting folders.You upload them the same way you
upload the individual files...just upload the whole folder with the files
within. How are you uploading? Describe the steps without disclosing any
passwords...

DavidF! Thank you for your assistance and commitment to helping me thus
far.
Many apologies for not being prompt in my responses. I don't often have
computer access during work hours and for some reason I am not receiving
the
alert emails when I receive responses, but I digress... onto the matter at
hand!

I am not using a Master Page. On all 7 files the Master Pages are blank.

In order to make the blue boxes, I made a text box and formatted it to
have
a thick, blue border. To make the entire box a link, I made it a hot spot
that directed to the according page's address.
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com./dents.htm, paint.htm, etc.

Yes, I have 7 different publisher files, one for each page of the site.
When
I publish to the web (File > Publish to the Web) an html document (dents)
and
a file folder (dents_files) is made. I didn't know there was another way
to
do the 7 pages in only one index file, so I did what I know how to do. I
also
like that it reads .com/dents.htm. I do not know how to upload the file
folders (dents_files) onto my hosting site. I can only open the folders
and
upload the individual contents, but there is a lot of messy overwriting
involved short of renaming everything in each of the 7 folders and there
must
be an easier way! I will work on this issue this afternoon.

I think that covers everything. Again, thank you for your help so far!

Holly cow batman! ;-) I have studied your pages or sites for 30 minutes
and
still can't figure out everything you have done. So, I have some
questions.

First of all, are you using a Master Page? Go to View > Master Page. If
you
have anything on a Master Page you need to move it to the main
publication
page. Just drag it off into the scratch area and then switch back to the
main page and drag those elements back onto your pages.

Second...specifically how did you create the three blue bordered text
boxes
on http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com ? How did you apply the hyperlink
to
the whole text box?

Third...there is no such site or page as
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/dents.html but there is a
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/dents.htm . Be careful about getting
the
extension correct. Now the question is, did you actually make up your
'site'
with 7 different Publisher files? If so, when you uploaded the 'dents'
publisher web files, did you upload the 'dents_files' folder along with
the
'dents.htm' file?

While it is a bit unconventional to build a seven page website with 7
different pub files, that is ok. I assume you did it because you wanted
the
links to read as http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/dents.htm vs.
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/index_files/dents.htm which is what
you
would have got if you had built the site in one pub file. However, if you
are going to build a site with 7 different Pub files, then each time you
Publish to the web you will generate both a home page such as 'dents.htm'
plus the corresponding 'dents_files" subfolder and you will need to
upload
both. Your 'glass.htm' file will have a 'glass_files' folder, etc.

Please explain and answer the questions above and help me understand how
you
have built your site, and we will be able to help you get it working in
FF
and other browsers.

Our main site which we are having a problem on is
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com
the problems are also on the following sites:
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/dents.html
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/detail.html
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/glass.html
http://www.phoenixfamilycarcare.com/paint.html

They only view as designed in IE 7 and 8. I've tried Mozilla Firefox
and
whatever browser that Nintendo Wii Internet uses to no avail. It just
says
TEXT BOX TEXT BOX TEXT BOX and has some of our verbage. Is there a way
to
unfilter the html that is automatically generated when I publish to
HTML?
Sorry for the delay in my post, I wasn't emailed upon your replies.
Thank
you for your help.

I doubt you'll ever get a Publisher generated website to validate.
But
there
are some workarounds to make it work in other browsers.

Hello!
I am working with the following:
Windows XP
Microsoft Publisher 2007
GoDaddy hosting for Windows

I have designed my webpages, published them, and uploaded them to
GoDaddy.
They view beautifully in IE but in firefox and alternate browsers
it
doesn't
view correctly. The W3 validator picks out a ton of problems but
I'm
barely
fluent in English, much less HTML! How do I stop Publisher from
making
Microsoft specific HTML? Is that even my problem?
