Forum hyperlink not working in FF

First let me say I’m a rank beginner when it comes to setting up a website. I’m using FP and it’s going well. Now for the problem, I set up a forum on my site, I have hyperlinks on each page to the other pages. In IE all the links work, but in FF the Forum page link won’t work, doesn’t show the link as even being there.

My brother who’s been helping me had to go in and change the href statements to direct the links to the web pages rather than my hard drive, but can’t find the href for the Forum link and if he tries to put it in FP takes it out before it will save the page.

      with shopping since that's where it all starts. Always check for sales 
      before shopping, cut coupons and stock up when prices on something you use 
      are low, you've heard all these let's see if we can expand on it.</font></p>

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt">Adaptability:</font><font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt">&nbsp;
      <font color="#006600">All the experts say, make a list, stick to it. In 
      general it works. However, do not pass up an unadvertised, overstock, or 
      close to expiration date sale to stick to your list. Many of the stores in 
      my area will reduce the price of meat if it's close to expiration. When 
      that happens, I may go from having fish that night to beef or ribs, 
      adaptability! Or I may freeze it until next week. If you know you will use something and it suddenly turns up 
      on sale buy it! </font><font color="#990000">Keep in mind, don't buy 10 
      cans of something when you only use 3 in a year, not only do you have to 
      find a place to put it you may wind up dusting it (not sure about you but 
      I collect glass, I don't need anything else to dust. Been there, done 
      that, it's not a savings if you throw half of it out. </font></font></p>

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt">Generics:</font><font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt">&nbsp;
      <font color="#006600">This is where you may spend some money to save some 
      money. Many generics are overruns from the factory, they produced more of the name brand 
      than ordered. When that happens they simply switch to the 
      generic label container. Some are as good as the name brand, some not 
      quite as good but for the price difference can be &quot;doctored&quot; to be as 
      good. Some just aren't very good, the only way you can tell is to try 
      them. </font><font color="#990000">When I try something new I usually 
      taste it from the package before adding it to a recipe. If I like it or 
      can doctor it, it goes in, if it's really bad it hits the trash can. While 
      this is a waste it doesn't happen often, almost anything can be doctored 
      and I just don't purchase that brand again. </font></font></p>

      mother taught me long ago that when shopping for meat do not look at the 
      price per pound. Yes, at first I thought she was crazy too. However, when 
      shopping for meat you want to look at the entire package price. Ok, this 
      piece of meat is $10 but I can feed 4 people from it, that's $2.50 per 
      person, or I can make a pot of stew from that which will serve 1 dinner 
      and 2 lunches. Suddenly that $10 doesn't look so bad. You have to look at 
      the value you will get from that piece of meat. </font>
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#D58000">By all means 
      shop the sales, get to know what the &quot;usual&quot; price per pound is and buy

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">One of the 
      keys is having a well stocked pantry. You want your pantry to have items 
      that you can always make a meal from by adding just 1 or 2 items. 
      Generally your pantry items will include seasonings, canned goods, pasta, 
      rice or grain of your choice and a few standard items that can be adapted 
      to be used in several ways. I do not stock a lot of specialty items that 
      can only be used for one thing (unless of course I happen to find it for a
      <u>really</u> good sale price). </font>
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#990000">Keep in mind 
      you do not have to buy all these items at once. Pick up one or two a week 
      and before you know you it you will have a well stocked pantry. </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Seasonings:</font><font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">&nbsp; 
      First let me say that I use only powders in cooking, I do not use salts. 
      If I feel a recipe needs salt I will usually add a small amount of salt, 
      sea salt or seasoned salt. For my garlic, onion, and celery I use powders.
      </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">You can make 
      almost any dish as long as you have the basic seasonings listed to the 
      left. Now look at <u>My must have list</u>, this list are seasonings that are 
      called for in recipes fairly often and your list should include <u>your</u> families personal 
      favorites. The other spices list is items 
      that I use occasionally or for a specific recipe. </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Canned Goods:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">These are items that 
      you will use on a regular basis to make meals from. You also want items 
      that you can &quot;unexpectedly&quot; make a meal from. If you find a nice piece of 
      meat on sale it always helps the budget if you already have items in your 
      pantry to make a meal out of it. To the right you will see a list of the items I use 
      a lot, your list may vary from mine, you need to have items your family 
      likes. </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#990000">I use primarily 
      frozen vegetables, this is a personal preference, if you prefer the canned 
      veggies or don't have a lot of freezer room, stock a supply of canned 
      veggies for 
      the recipes you like. Just remember they need a much shorter cooking time 
      than the frozen so add them to the recipe later than you would the frozen.
      </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Pasta:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">I try to keep &quot;in 
      stock&quot; spaghetti, egg noodles, elbow macaroni, rotini, and penne or 
      another specialty pasta. With this combination you have what you need to 
      make a main dish, side dish or pasta salad. And to vary them to keep the 
      family interested.</font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Rice:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">My main stock of rice 
      is simple long grained white rice. I generally buy it in a 3 - 5 pound bag 
      and keep in a glass jar. It can be used for many items and can always be 
      used to prepare a simple last minute dish. When stocking Rice a Roni I generally 
      buy 2 of each flavor of the Great Value brand at Wal-Mart, they have 3 
      flavors and you can make a dinner out of any one of them. If I have 
      specific recipe that calls for another flavor I will buy the name brand in 
      that flavor.&nbsp; I also keep long grain organic brown rice but that is a 
      personal preference, it is interchangeable with the white rice in almost 
      any recipe. </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#990000">Keep in 
      mind the organic brown rice takes a little longer to cook than the 
      processed white rice. </font></p>

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">Let's start 
      with shopping since that's where it all starts. Always check for sales 
      before shopping, cut coupons and stock up when prices on something you use 
      are low, you've heard all these let's see if we can expand on it.</font></p>

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt">Adaptability:</font><font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt">&nbsp;
      <font color="#006600">All the experts say, make a list, stick to it. In 
      general it works. However, do not pass up an unadvertised, overstock, or 
      close to expiration date sale to stick to your list. Many of the stores in 
      my area will reduce the price of meat if it's close to expiration. When 
      that happens, I may go from having fish that night to beef or ribs, 
      adaptability! Or I may freeze it until next week. If you know you will use something and it suddenly turns up 
      on sale buy it! </font><font color="#990000">Keep in mind, don't buy 10 
      cans of something when you only use 3 in a year, not only do you have to 
      find a place to put it you may wind up dusting it (not sure about you but 
      I collect glass, I don't need anything else to dust. Been there, done 
      that, it's not a savings if you throw half of it out. </font></font></p>

      <font color="#006600">This is where you may spend some money to save some 
      money. Many generics are overruns from the factory, they produced more of the name brand 
      than ordered. When that happens they simply switch to the 
      generic label container. Some are as good as the name brand, some not 
      quite as good but for the price difference can be &quot;doctored&quot; to be as 
      good. Some just aren't very good, the only way you can tell is to try 
      them. </font><font color="#990000">When I try something new I usually 
      taste it from the package before adding it to a recipe. If I like it or 
      can doctor it, it goes in, if it's really bad it hits the trash can. While 
      this is a waste it doesn't happen often, almost anything can be doctored 
      and I just don't purchase that brand again. </font></font></p>

      mother taught me long ago that when shopping for meat do not look at the 
      price per pound. Yes, at first I thought she was crazy too. However, when 
      shopping for meat you want to look at the entire package price. Ok, this 
      piece of meat is $10 but I can feed 4 people from it, that's $2.50 per 
      person, or I can make a pot of stew from that which will serve 1 dinner 
      and 2 lunches. Suddenly that $10 doesn't look so bad. You have to look at 
      the value you will get from that piece of meat. </font>
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#D58000">By all means 
      shop the sales, get to know what the &quot;usual&quot; price per pound is and buy

      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">One of the 
      keys is having a well stocked pantry. You want your pantry to have items 
      that you can always make a meal from by adding just 1 or 2 items. 
      Generally your pantry items will include seasonings, canned goods, pasta, 
      rice or grain of your choice and a few standard items that can be adapted 
      to be used in several ways. I do not stock a lot of specialty items that 
      can only be used for one thing (unless of course I happen to find it for a
      <u>really</u> good sale price). </font>
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#990000">Keep in mind 
      you do not have to buy all these items at once. Pick up one or two a week 
      and before you know you it you will have a well stocked pantry. </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Seasonings:</font><font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">&nbsp; 
      First let me say that I use only powders in cooking, I do not use salts. 
      If I feel a recipe needs salt I will usually add a small amount of salt, 
      sea salt or seasoned salt. For my garlic, onion, and celery I use powders.
      </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 14pt" color="#006600">You can make 
      almost any dish as long as you have the basic seasonings listed to the 
      left. Now look at <u>My must have list</u>, this list are seasonings that are 
      called for in recipes fairly often and your list should include <u>your</u> families personal 
      favorites. The other spices list is items 
      that I use occasionally or for a specific recipe. </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Canned Goods:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">These are items that 
      you will use on a regular basis to make meals from. You also want items 
      that you can &quot;unexpectedly&quot; make a meal from. If you find a nice piece of 
      meat on sale it always helps the budget if you already have items in your 
      pantry to make a meal out of it. To the right you will see a list of the items I use 
      a lot, your list may vary from mine, you need to have items your family 
      likes. </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#990000">I use primarily 
      frozen vegetables, this is a personal preference, if you prefer the canned 
      veggies or don't have a lot of freezer room, stock a supply of canned 
      veggies for 
      the recipes you like. Just remember they need a much shorter cooking time 
      than the frozen so add them to the recipe later than you would the frozen.
      </font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Pasta:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">I try to keep &quot;in 
      stock&quot; spaghetti, egg noodles, elbow macaroni, rotini, and penne or 
      another specialty pasta. With this combination you have what you need to 
      make a main dish, side dish or pasta salad. And to vary them to keep the 
      family interested.</font></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" align="left">
      <font face="Banner" style="font-size: 16pt" color="#990000">Rice:&nbsp;
      </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#006600">My main stock of rice 
      is simple long grained white rice. I generally buy it in a 3 - 5 pound bag 
      and keep in a glass jar. It can be used for many items and can always be 
      used to prepare a simple last minute dish. When stocking Rice a Roni I generally 
      buy 2 of each flavor of the Great Value brand at Wal-Mart, they have 3 
      flavors and you can make a dinner out of any one of them. If I have 
      specific recipe that calls for another flavor I will buy the name brand in 
      that flavor.&nbsp; I also keep long grain organic brown rice but that is a 
      personal preference, it is interchangeable with the white rice in almost 
      any recipe. </font><font face="Banner" size="4" color="#990000">Keep in 
      mind the organic brown rice takes a little longer to cook than the 
      processed white rice. </font></p>

Frontpage, huh? I forgot how sloppy the code it produces is. Well, I see your code, and I see the link to your forum, but I am not going to get very far because I don’t have any frontpage extensions enabled on my servers. Sorry to keep bugging you with more details, but can you post or PM me a link to the page/site so that I could mess around with it in Firebug?

Thanks!

Does this have what you wanted?

Ask all the questions you need to, as I said I’m a rank amateur at this and even though my brother knows what he’s doing, he’s not all that familiar with FP either. The link to the site is www.cookwithdeb.com

In IE all the links work, but in FF the Forum page link won’t work, doesn’t show the link as even being there.

True, but not true. In IE, most of your links are treated as text links IF the area links don’t work (because you are using a Microsoft product, it will most likely degrade more gracefully in IE than FF). The problem is that you don’t have an area map for your forum link, and FF is not treating your menu as text links, but only as area links. You need to insert another Polygon map with the proper coordinates over your forum link and set the href to your forum page. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need more advice.

Thank you, my brother understood what you were saying and when trying to find why the Polygon map wasn’t there found the problem. I had the text on the buttons, then put the hyperlink in and for some reason FP was putting the page title on the button, when I would delete that it deleted the map. Still haven’t figured out why it’s doing it but now know how to avoid it.

Thanks again,
Deb

wrap your code in either the [noparse]


[/noparse] or [noparse]


[/noparse] tags. it will help whomever feels like helping you view your code in a readable format. If no one answers you in the future don’t be surprised if it’s your lack of using proper tagging, lots of people don’t like reading the plain text like that. i did it this time on your existing posts but i won’t do it on future ones.
