web site display off the page

M

Mark in Chicago

My long time web site is now displaying off the page so one has to scroll
right to see all of the text. It's happening on all pages, with and without
tables so it's probably not a table issue. It may be a link bar issue? I've
looked in Page Properties but see no control for width.

Looks OK in IE 6.0 at different resolutions.

Try clearing your browser cache files.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. Based upon your comments I installed IE and see that
the problem goes away. I use Firefox. Any idea why the browser matters? If
not, I'll take it up with Mozilla. Thanks again.

It's not wrapping in Firefox. If you're happy for the navbar to wrap
as it does in IE but not in Firefox, you might care to try removing
some or all of the <nobr>...</nobr> tags.

As this might cause the navbar to break at an inconvenient point, for
example if it leaves you with a bullet at the end of the row before
the break, it might be better to deliberately break the line halfway
along so it looks the same in all browsers (at most resolutions).

I'd suggest not using the navigation component, that's what is causing the
effect in Firefox. It has a width="100%" specified with <nobr>elements which
means the menu will not wrap in Firefox. IE will ignore the nobr and wrap to
the width of the screen. If you want to continue to use the FP navigation
components stick to a text one and not a theme based one and it should wrap
for you. As usual test to make sure it renders the way you want in Firefox.

Since even if you edited the navigation component output the next time you
added something to your menu they would go back in. Create your own menu and
use either a DWT or an include for the menu.

When FP 2003 (and earlier) versions were released there was no Firefox so
the code doesn't take its stricter rendering standards into account.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved in the next version.

What is a "DWT or an include". I have the same issue of no wrapping in the
navigation in Firefox.

Many thanks.

DWT = Dynamic Web Template. - you create a single page of the design you
want for your site, then "attach" it to the other pages - giving a custom
look and feel.


Include = INcluded page/content - allows you to insert a page or code that
will appear on all pages in a quick way without having to manually copy and
paste the content to each page eg headers, menus etc.
