Using FP2002 I created a school website (www.woodhall.suffolk.sch.uk)
This was all done before I recently switched browsers from IE6 to Firefox.
Now I've noticed that the navigation links on pages do not 'wrap around'
but continue in one long line - which means you have to scroll to see all
the page links.
Is this a FP/Firefox quirk, am I doing something wrong, or do I have to
reload the web via Firefox?
(IYSWIM)
TIA

It is a Firefox/Mozilla issue, I've got both browsers installed and your
site is still fine in IE but the links don't appear correctly in Firefox.
I would suggest submitting a bug report to Firefox, but also attempt to
'fix' your website so it looks ok in Firefox until the bug is fixed.

Thanks for that.
By 'fix' do you mean manually wrap the navigation links?

That's a little too quick on the judgement. Rather than a
Firefox/Mozilla issue, if you will look at it in other browsers like
Opera, you'll see the same result

In fact, his HTML code uses the <nobr>and &nbsp; tags in the
navigation bar -- no break and non-breaking space.

It looks like I.E. is the one which is non-compliant in this case. IE
is wrapping the long non-breaking string.

Simple fix: in your navigation links, stick some plain spaces
between links and all should.

Thanks Terry, but the navigation links seem to behave as a single entity - I
can't get 'between' them.
(IYSWIM) For navigation I'm using the 'bar with custom links' in a single
page web. Should I restructure the web and use a 'bar based on navigation
structure'? (As you may have gathered - I'm certainly no expert, and am not
familiar with html tags, etc.)
Cheers

That does tend to be a problem if you use the navigation bars created
by FP. Consider grabbing the bar's code out of the finished HTML
file, creating a blank page in FP, pasting the code into the code
window -- between the <body> and the </body> tags.

Then, you can edit them just as you like -- in WYSIWYG mode, and you
can use FP's "Insert / Web Component / Included Content" function to
pull that code in. I do this routinely for headers and footers in
sites I create in FP.

Thanks Terry,
My evaluation was a bit too quick!
I'm very grateful for your suggestions, I am still learning too and any
instruction from more experienced users is always welcome.
Gilbert, sorry I misled you I hope you'll forgive me!
Cheers
Howard
