I made a site in FrontPage, but the links simply won’t open on Safari. Is there an easy way to fix this? Thanks for your advice.
I should have been clearer. You can go to the homepage just fine, but when you put the mouse over where a link should be, nada. Click on the link, nada.
Help!
All I can say is that FrontPage has been notorious for generating non-standard, incompatible code. It’s possible that, instead of generating standard HTML links, FrontPage is making the links using some kind of scripting that is only understood by Internet Explorer.
Are you creating the pages on a Windows machine? How old is your copy of FrontPage? Are you using Safari yourself to check the pages, or are you getting these reports from another user? If you’ll post the site link here, I could take a look with my own copy of Safari.
I am too ashamed to post the site here. The FrontPage I’m using is brand new, but it IS for Japanese XP. I can see how it would make code especially “sweet” for explorer. But something as basic as a link? On Safari it comes up just as regular text.
The thing is, those links are located inside text boxes, essentially, so that might be the problem. I tried opening the site up once myself, didn’t work. And my friend said so too.
Not bloody likely. I do my site in FP2003 and basic HTML stuff like linking at tables works just fine in Mozilla, Opera… even Nutscrape. You should try using the preview feature and see if it works on your local machine with IE (you can also include Safari if you wish) and see what gives there. Given my 3 years experience with FP - and yes, I know it has problems! - I can’t see simple linking not working.
I use Safari for almost all my web browsing, but every once in a while, I won’t be able to navigate a certain website. I’ve never been able to figure it out, other than making sure my pop-up blocker is turned off if the occasion calls for it.
