webpage differences with PC vs. Mac?

[Dave Potts]

Frontpage designs do some screwy things if you’re not viewing them in IE. Firefox is jumbling your page too. If you’re using 2003 I believe you can generate standards compliant code, but I’m not sure. Part of the issue may be the table height attribute FP seems to be adding to your code. Tables no longer have this attribute, so some of what you’re seeing outside of IE may be due to this.

I think you may be right about the tables issue. Any idea of how to work around this?

[Dave Potts]

You ought to be able to just drop the height attribute altogether and simply allow the table contents to dictate the height.

Thanks for the tip! I checked out the table properties and the boxes for height and width attributes are unchecked. When I type in the table cells, I will often resize them manually so that the lines of text are the width that I want them. Thoughts?

Table width should be okay to set, here’s the entry at the w3c that should tell you everything you need to know:
