Browser incompatibility

Mike from Moriches

Hello-
I use FP2003 and IE8. Everything is good. When I switch browsers I get
a variety of failures. Text works in Firefox but disappears in Safari.
Page backgrounds work in Chrome, but not in Firefox, etc. Can you point me
in the direction I should be looking to make the documents render correctly
with multiple browsers?
Thanks,
Mike from New York

The page structure needs a lot of attention, for example, remove the heights
from table cells and tables. The heights set are over-ruled by the images
placed inside the table cells anyway - and some browsers honour the heights
set for tables, so these will have some content missing. Additionally,
<head>, </head> and <html> tags are duplicated and mis-placed. Check code
view.
A partially restructured page is at

This is probably not the end result you want, and still has faults, but is a
little better.

The problem with the missing text is that the browsers were doing as they
were told - the theme being used sets the font colour to Transparent.
Transparent text, obviously, cannot be seen. IE does not allow transparent
as a valid colour for text, but FireFox does. You will have to modify the
theme to correct this:
Format->Theme
Selct the theme and choose Customize from the dropdown
Click Text
Click "More text styles"
Change the dropdown to HTML tags and scroll down the list to Table - Select
table
Click Modify
Click the Format dropdown arrow and choose Font
Specify a Color and click OK, click OK
Click OK on all screens, save the edited theme with a new name.
Change the theme on the page to the new theme and save.
