Thank you so much for your diagnosis!!!!! I will just go ahead and pay
for
hosting for this domain name. I really appreciate your help!

Pat D,

The problem is the masking, not IE 7. As the navbar wizard writes a
relative
link, that link is broken by the masking. If you hover your mouse over
your
About Physical Therapy link, you will see in the status bar:
"index3_Page386.htm", and when you click that link it will try to
transfer
you to http://www.thinkphysicaltherapy.org/index3_Page386.htm, but your
page
is actually at http://www.patnleslie.com/index3_Page386.htm and thus the
white page. (and by the way, if you prefer the use of the supporting
folder,
it should make no difference in this case)

When you "mask" the domain, you are framing the page. Go to View > Source
and you can see this. Pub 2002, 2003 and 2007 do not support framing, and
all produce code that includes identifying the browser. If it is IE then
the
browser gets Publisher's VML code (Pub 2000 has a different coding engine
and doesn't use VML) and FireFox gets different code that actually works.
Hover your mouse over the About Physical Therapy link in FireFox, and you
will note in the status bar an absolute link to the correct location of
the
file.

Your choices are to do away with the wizard produced navbar and the
relative
links and build your own menu with absolute links. Or don't frame your
site...its probably not a good idea anyway, on several levels. Or you can
perhaps try inserting the following code snippet to see if that helps.
This
was posted on the webdesign newsgroup some time ago, and I have not
tested
it.

-------

<TITLE>Can't be in a frame</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- Hide script from old browsers

if (top.location != self.location) {
top.location = self.location
}
// End hiding script from old browsers -->
</SCRIPT>

--------

Good luck.

I called Microsoft support and they ran me through the reset process of
IE
7
beta2, but this still didn't affect the problem. I am wondering if it
might
be the security settings in IE 7 that are preventing me from seeing the
other
pages. Phishing filter perhaps? I have disabled all the security
settings
to see if that changed anything, but still no luck. Here is the
website
if
you are interested in seeing the problem.

www.ThinkPhysicalTherapy.org or www.ThinkPhysicalTherapy.com

Both of these domain names forward you to my other site (although it is
"masked") which hosts these two domains. If you enter the actual
domain
which is hosting the site, it seems to work fine in Firefox or IE 7.
Here
is
the actual domain which is hosting the other domains listed above.

www.patnleslie.com/index3

From here, the site seems to load and function fine in IE 7. However,
the
domain isn't very "professional." So I wanted to "mask" it and use the
two
other domains listed above.

So could this be a "masking" problem picked-up by the security
settings?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the tip. I deleted all of the old files from the host,
then
replublished the files after deselecting "organize supporting files in
a
folder." However, I still cannot view any of the other pages in the
website
other than the first page that opens. Absolute links work fine from
this
first page, but the navigation bottons do not seem to be taking me to
the
correct page. (it just shows a blank screen...not an error, but
simply a
white screen) When viewing the website through Publisher "preview" it
seems
to work fine when the pages are being read from my computer. After
making
the above changes, the website again loads fine with Mozilla Firefox.

The website domain is being forwarded to another hosting account that
I
own,
which is being "masked" so that it appears that you are at the
original
website. Would the masking be interfering with the ability to view
pages
within the site?

Thanks for your input.

Pub 2007 websites view ok in IE 6, so that would imply that it is
associated
with IE 7. Also as the navbar wizard writes relative links, I would
suggest
that you go to Web Options and untick "Organize supporting files in
a
folder", republish after deleting your old HTML files and the
subfolder
from
your host, and see if that makes any difference. Do absolute links
work
ok?

Please post your results or further questions on the webbuilding
newsgroup
(microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign). I would like to know what
happens.
You might also post this as a bug to the Microsoft beta site.

I just built a website in Publisher 2007 beta2, however, I cannot
view
the
whole website in IE 7 beta2. (I can view the first page, but
can't
get
into
any other pages.) However, I am able to view the entire website
from
Mozilla
Firefox.

Any suggestions? It this a Beta version issue? And if so, is it
an
issue
with Publisher, or with IE?

Thanks for your input...
