Text Boxes

[Shannon]

I have a few text boxes with, um, text in them and they
show up perfectly in IE and OK in Netscape. The problem
is, when I'm on my work computer and pull up one of my
pages in IE, the boxes show up where they're supposed to
be, but the text is off to the side of the box and you
can only view half of it. They don't give us a lot of
freedom on those work computers and I'm hoping that that
is the prob.

What can be done to keep everything in line on all comps?

This kind of problem occurs frequently whenever you use
the Drawing features in FrontPage. My advice is therefore
to avoid those features.

In the page you mention, for example, you could easily
achieve the same appearnce using HTML tables.

Looks like a Word created doc. You need the latest IE
browser to view it properly.

If this is a FrontPage created doc, you probaly pasted it
from word, paste it to notepad first (strips the
formatting)then to FP.

You should use html tables (or layers) and html formatting
if you want all surfers to see the same thing. This page
will look bad in other browsers.

FYI a "text box" is normally a form element in html.

Hope this helps.
