Hi,

I'm currently trying to design a website in Microsoft Frontpage 2002 and as part of the site want to include a form on the right-side of each page (inside a table that I'm using for a layout structure).

My problem is that whenever I had a text box in as part of the form, the whole table width expands, leaving a lot of empty space that I don’t want. This expansion only happens when I view the page in Firefox. Internet Explorer displays the page as I want it to.

An example of the width of the table (though without a form) I want can be seen here:

And an example of what happens in Firefox after I try to insert the form text box can be seen here:

This effect happens even when I’ve tried writing my own simple form using HTML.

If anybody has any tips/advice as to what I can do to stop this table expansion, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks.

sorry, i forgot to add.

The URLs should work if you take out the spaces. I couldn't post the links without spaces as I haven't made enough posts in this forum.

Is there any way of rectifying this problem, given that I've already designed the site in Frontpage?

Thanks again for your time.

I hate to say it, well, not really, but you really need to get rid of that hideous FP. FP produces nasty code that ONLY works properly in IE. It loads down your pages with ugly proprietary garbage code, adding to page weight.

You also need to get away from tables for layout, and update yourself to CSS-based layouts.

The FIRST thing you need, no matter what program you use, is a proper DOCTYPE on every page. Without that you will never achieve any cross-browser consistency .

he only trouble with it is that the "newest" browsers, Firefox 3 Beta, ... it done in tables but I would prefer to stay away from them in layouts. ... look good while resizing...... ive also tried floating and even ...

Difference DOCTYPE ... browser can display difference result in design, if you use DOCTYPE on a top of webpage (every page) your can see the same display result design on difference browser or version.

As ladynred said, I would stay away from frontpage and just learn to code it yourself. The reward will also be much greater if you made it by hand.
