Netscape Compatibility

[Gregsn]

I have two websites that I have created with FP2002 and my webhosting is on
Apache servers. Even though I have been using FP for awhile, consider me an
uneducated newbie. I am new to the issue of browser compatibility, especially
with Netscape. I have created pages for one site with Word and the other site
strictly with FP. I use the latest version of Netscape to test compatibility,
I know how to preview with IE and NS in FP. I have also set page options in
Word and FP for IE and NS compatibility. My sites still look horrible using
NS, very grainy, colors that fade from a dark color to a light color have
little X's and pictures are fuzzy and grainy. I need help! I have been
searching through articles and trying different configurations, but the sites
look exactly the same in NS. I am sure that someone out there knows what my
problem is. Thanks

Maybe you need to get rid of the multiple popups caused by:

The Greg site is using FP's WordArt which uses VML, which is IE only. Other browsers will not show the images or will render low level gifs in their stead. Don't use WordArt/Autoshapes/Draw in FP.

As a down-and-dirty quick solution you can take a Print Scrn of the page (which copies the image/page to Clipboard, then open your favorite image editor ( NOT FP!) and Paste, Crop and then save it as a jpg (jpg would be best for this one), then use that in your web....you may have to do a little fancy footwork though.

The bluesandrock web...I left as soon as the pop-ups began.

What pop ups? When I go to the site I do not see any pop ups, nor did I put
any there!! I don't even know how to create pop ups. Please explain what you
see.

OH! My bad, I gave the wrong url, sorry, it is
http://www.bluesandrockguitar.com

Thanks for the help! I will work on the changes.
