| You just aren't getting it are you? The comments about the text being
| converted to an image IS the answer you are seeking.
|
| The reason your page loads differently in FF is that FF loads the image of
| your text incrementally. In IE it waits and loads the image all at once
| after it has been downloaded to the local computer. Both browsers are
| loading the image of your text...not the text. If you want text to load in
a
| similar way as it does in FF, then you need to avoid converting it to an
| image.
|
| And no, I am not an expert web designer. I am just a small business person
| like yourself that tries to help people here that want to help themselves.
| You apparently aren't part of that group so I won't waste any more time on
| you. Find a Dreamweaver group and post your question there and be prepared
| to get the same basic answers you are getting here.
|
| Good luck.
