I am having a problem with NetScape recognizing HyperLinks that are enclosed within a Text-Box.<br />
<br />
I have posted a simple sample at:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.digi-graphics.com/test_directory/test_page.htm">http://www.digi-graphics.com/test_direc ... t_page.htm</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
In IE (6), the link moves you to the target. <br />
In NN (7), the link is inoperable.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions??<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

(Reckless)<!--content-->Front Page generated code rarely works in other browsers.
<!--content-->Come on... Do you suppose that manually coding a text box with links will work in NN? Or coding in Go Live or DreamWeaver? Are text boxes a specially coded proprietary feature that only FrontPage offers? <br />
<br />
Did you happen to look at the code? How might I rewrite it so that it's stripped of its FrontPage limitations? The code can't be that difficult... but my knowledge is limited so I defer to this forum of experts for guidance.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

<br />
The original code specified an absolute position and Z-Index. It appears that's the code that's hammering NN.<br />
<br />
I'll augment the BEAUTIFUL code you supplied to see if I can incorporate position and Z-Index that NN will honor.<br />
<br />
Thanks again<br />

-Les<!--content-->Netscape will have no problem's with the z-index and absolute positioning with the above code....
<!--content-->Z-index is only use for overlapping images and elements so it is not crucial that you have it, unless thats actually what you were going for. Check this out <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp</a><!-- m --> it expains z-index. Also look at the stuff on overflow, the overflow stuff will allow you to specify if the div or 'text box' changes in size with the content, stays constant or even if it uses scroll bars when the content is bigger then the box.<!--content-->
