The reason it doesn't work is that you are using Microsloth front page
to build it; it's a notoriously *bad* product. Microsoft has no interest
whatsoever in maintaining coherence with non-Microsoft products. You
aren't the first web page builder to be screwed by it!

If you don't already have it, download Netscape Gold & build it using
that to start; then there's other fancier products on the market if you
need to expand. Also, don't use Java, unless you really need it.

But I scanned the text and a couple of links - I hope you succeed! 

Good luck;

Chris

I didn't want to get into an HTML editor debate but I have to comment.  I
agree that there doesn't seem to any need for the java navigation.  I've
been told that MS Front page 2000 is more cross-browser compatible than
previous versions.

Hi Chris,

What program would you recommend for web pages. I've used 
Claris Homepage for around $100. US Wondering if it is
worth buying it.

Hi Marilyn;

I really don't know - other than just about everyone I know who uses
Front Page has trouble with other browsers - and given Microsoft's
history of a rather peculiar approach to competition (to say the least),
I'm not surprised. 

I'm happy with just Netscape Gold - it can't do much besides straight
forward stuff - but then again, I get irritated at these sites that
overdo it with frames, and floating this & that, & now music...don't
need that for my chocolate box!

Anyway, if you find a site you like, look at the text form (in Netscape
you can use the View/Page Source menu item) & you can see what software
was used to generate it. Alternatively, learning the html commands is
not that hard..

FWIW, there is a Canadian product put out by a company called Brooklyn
North - I hear it's pretty good.

Good luck;

Chris

some things can see java some things can't. simple as that, there is
netscape stuff that I can not see on my normal browser sometimes,
 so there is good and bad in everything.

nice work by the way.

Since there seems to be some interest - here's the URL for Brooklyn
North's "HTML Assistant" - you can download a copy & run it for 30 days,
on trial. (Me - I'll stick to Netscape!)

Netscape for web sites?
I have Netscape Gold, came with Corel Suite 8 but
I've never used it. Just put it in Edit Page Mode?

Hi Marilyn;

Yes; I just start with a new blank page, and type away. It can do
tables, help you link in pages, provides headers & targets, etc; you can
also drag and drop pictures in, and it comes with a spell checker. Sort
of like a cheap word processor! As far as I know it can't do frames. 

Another easy way to get started is to copy a page from a site you like
to your own machine, then open it up in a text editor (like dos edit or
emacs) and rewrite it to suit your fancy.

BTW., I've set the followup-to field to rec.arts.fine only, so as not to
clutter other groups...

Cheers;

Chris

I'd recommend two excellent, powerful, full featured web authoring suites...
Macromedia Dreamweaver 2.0 and Softquad's HoTMetaL Pro 6.0.  Both will
create clean HTML which will display equally well on IE or Netscape.  Both
will allow you to write your own code directly in a text editor environment
or you can use either one as a WYSIWYG application.  Neither will add
"proprietary" markup to your code. Both have full featured trial versions
available for download from their respective sites.

Netscape Gold was nice in 1996 but it's approaching Y2K....

I've been using Netscape for mine, at
http://sites.netscape.net/hannafate7/homepage  It seems okay so far.
