I'd like to look at your site but the links aren't working. The cursor does not turn into a hand to show an active link. Tried with IE and Safari. Randy

Randy,
Don't know what may be the problem with the link.

You can Google search "Knotty Cat" and it comes up.

Wierd. I get the site and the main page but none of the links operate. So things like "Cruises" and Modifications" don't act as links. I'll try on another computer. This is a Mac.

It appears to be a Mac thing. The site seems to works fine when acessing with IE under XP, but doesn't seem to work with Safari under OS X . Depending on how the HTML was generated, there may be some extensions that are not being recognized.

I use Mozilla browser and the only thing that shows up as a link is one picture which can be enlarged.

Mozilla is a very compliant browser to good html code practice. Both Mozilla and Mac refuse to adjust to coding problems of Microsoft and developement tools that work with microsoft but render poor html coding that doesn't work with other html standard browsers and I don't blame them.

btw, a model flying buddy recently had his computer crash and the repair tech said it was due to an addware that took advantage of an IE vulnerbility. The tech installed Firefox browser and encouraged its use over IE.

Firefox has won awards from PC Magazine for Technical Excellence and Best Software.

There are some html compliant testers that can be used to test code. I'll try to download your home page and run a test on it.

note: Using W3C html markup testing service, it list 9 html errors on Tom's home page and indentifies each, describes the problem and fix. Simply go to the W3C markkup service and post the home page url to see results. It is a place to start when trying to discover why other browsers are not parsing the code.

Yikes! Thanks guys for letting me know there's a problem with my site. I've looked at it from several different computers and had no problems, it worked great.

I used a very simple drag and drop software to built it(no code)and have no idea how or what I need to do in order to fix it.

Does it work for anybody?

Arlyn, I ran the test and seen the 9 errors, but since this a drag and drop web builder I'm lost to fix it.

Dan, to be sure were talking the same thing... Tom's home page comes up fine, it is the links on the home page that won't trigger... you're saying the links on the page trigger ok in Firefox?

I get the same problems Arlyn is talking about. I have a Mac using Firefox. When looking at the source, I only see partial code for the page. I think it may be a frames problem where Firefox is not recognizing code inside a frame or several frames. If I could suggest, when building web pages the use of frames will be a constant problem if you change your pages alot. Simplify by dividing your page into three columns with a header at the top. Each column can be your content converted to a Jpg picture with the results being 3 jpg's on a page. The "pictures" of content will look the same on all computers. A lot of web designers use this trick. Of course, using a web building software probably won't follow this standard and will continue to want to generate frames, you could use it to drop the 3 jpg;s on to the page and let it finish the code for you. Just a thought. . .

Tom... looks like ya got it fixed and looking very good!

btw... I upgraded browsers yesterday to SeaMonkey, which is Mozilla morphed to its new name. SeaMonkey is a full featured browser containing html editor/publisher as well as IRC client.

Firefox is Mozilla light for those not needing the html editor or IRC client.

I rebuilt the index page last night, it still shows up with errors when I run it through the code validator. Don't know what to do about it. I contacted the makers of the software, they told me they reviewed my site and looked good to them. They said most sites have errors. I ran several sites through the validator and the only one I found that checked out with no errors was Arlyn's.

As long as its working now, I can live with it.

Thank you Tom! Great site with lots of good tips. I am in hot pursuit of a C250 WK so I may get to use all that information. Randy

I use Firefox and it worked fine.

Could it be an issue with security software?
