Frontpage 2003 use with Mozilla Firefox

[Mpow540]

I created a website in frontpage 2003 using a DWT throughout my site. My
site previews in IE fine but when viewed in Firefox there are pieces of my
layout missing from tables in my layout. They are random sized boxes that
seem to be cutout of the layout tables i put together. I use Editable
regions in my DWT to input text and graphics. Is there anyway to get around
these missing pieces in Firefox so that my site is fully compatible in both
browsers?

Here is an example......http://spitfirelacrosse.com/Contact Us.htm

As you can see in firefox, their are blank slots in the bottom right and
left corners.
Any help would be appreciated at what i could do to solve this issue!

Thanks

The reason for this is simple. You are relying on tables that have a 100%
height. The problem is, height is not a valid HTML attribute on a table.
This means that the various browsers will do whatever they want with it. You
can't rely on this to create a colored cell. The left-hand and right-hand
tables that you use to get the white background and orange side line cannot
be relied upon. You should redo them so that these are actually full table
cells. Add a couple columns so each side can have a white column and an
orange border column.

Also, you may want to rename some of your files. Spaces are invalid in
images (that's why you'll see some of the %20's in the image URL). Also,
paranthesis aren't good in urls so you will want to remove them. Stick to
letters only plus underscores or dashes (good for putting in where a space
should be).

Hope this helps,

Well i tried to recreate the tables. The problem i am running into now is
that when i make all the cells a definte height instead of 100% they do not
auto conform to the rest of the site. For instance i have 3 columns. All
cells have a height of 500, I past some text into the middle cell and that
cell expands its height to fit the text wheras the other 2 cells along side
of it stay at 500.

I have a basic understanding of HTML and tables and I am learning in the
process. I am used to just designing in FP and not worrying about code. Any
help is appreciated.

Thanks

When you have expandable cells, it is best to assign cell colors when you need to add color and not
images.
