Built website problem with Firefox viewing

Hi bit of a long shot....
I have been bullied into building a website for a local club,which I built with frontpage, I checked it in Internet explorer looks fine but a few of the members have firefox and when I checked the text falls to the bottom of the page and I cant work out why. The parking for the website doesnt support frontpage extensions which I am used to so I have to use ftp to upload I also have to keep to frontpage so the chairman can edit.
Web address is http://www.westwalesdowsers.co.uk/westwalesdowserfrontpage.htm
and when complete I will change to index and lose the old site.
Best regards
Mark

Hi Mark, looks like it's because the table containing your navigation links is 20% wide and the table containing the text is 100% wide - you can't have more than 100% so Firefox is dropping the text table down so it fits. If you change the width to 80% it looks fine in Firefox. I don't know how to change it in Frontpage but would suggest making the table narrower until it fits.
Hope that helps.0 -
Looks ok in Safari but sort out the titles. Saying "West" is not making effective for search engine ranking, a short description is better.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

Many thanks that worked, for some unknown reason it didn't change when I used table properties, had to go back to good old HTML to change

I have got to the stage when the commitee will look at and then I will put all the tags and search engine stuff to rights
