Do other non-IE users see this page wrong?

yep, sure does suck in firefox 1.5

;-)

[forest.livejournal.com]

yup, firefox can't handle the formatting on the text properly.

[checks page source]

ahh. there's the problem. whoever did it used Front Page.

tell them to get a real editor, like Editplus. or even Dreamweaver.

It's screwed up for me through both IE and Firefox, appearing the same through both browsers. Lots of excess space between words from the second paragraph downward. The clickable icons beginning with the house start by overlapping the "a" and "s" in "safewaste." Roughly 3/4 of the right side of the page is blank.

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

Well, if I'm seeing it "right," then the designer should be taken out and shot.

[valkyrwench.livejournal.com]

Totally screwed in Firefox 2.0.

[keethrax.livejournal.com]

It displays the same (badly) in every browser I have. IE6 included.

[i-harobed.livejournal.com]

It's a mess in Safari, too.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

yup.

[keethrax.livejournal.com]

I was wondering when somebody would check that. :)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I can see it okay in IE6.02, but there are still a few issues.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Hooray for Frontpage.

Not good in SeaMonkey 1.0.5

Only 40 errors reported by the W3C MArkup Validation Service.

View -> Page Style -> None.

The table widths are buggered (insert rant about tables for layout here).

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I've used tables in my company website. Is that rantable?

Netscape 7.0

[frith]

In Netscape, all the text and graphics are glued to the left hand side. Each word has its own line. At least it loaded quickly enough on dial-up.

[hendikins.livejournal.com]

Tables are fine (and designed/intended for) tabular data. Anything else I do tend to rant about...

[kayre]

On Safari (Apple) I get one skinny little column.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

in that case don't look at fleetwash.com.au source.

[chinrest.livejournal.com]

yes...hate that! (mozilla firefox here)

[keethrax.livejournal.com]

Mine's 6.02something, and it's all goobed.

[tatterdemalion.livejournal.com]

remind me not to employ that person to design my business website for me 8-)

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

Major suckage in Safari.

[jim-lane.livejournal.com]

FireFox 2.0 can't handle it, either. Sorry...

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Hendikins says above to go View -> Page Style -> None and it works.

Now I can view their products, but the last-update line makes me wonder if it's still current. Their news page stops at Sept. 2004, so I bet their web guru left.

We look at our web page as a major part of our advertising and it's a weekly job keeping things up to date. There were 720 unique visits last month - that's a lot of brochures! I worked bloody hard to make the site accessible to all browsers (it was difficult getting IE to view it properly!) and I don't understand other companies not doing the same.

[tiado-ab.livejournal.com]

Yep, but that's what happens when a page is designed using FrontPage. I swear any page I come across that appears horribly broken in Firefox was made with FrontPage.

[damienps.livejournal.com]

Frontpage has always added in lots of garbage code to make the pages it makes non-IE compatible.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

That's odd. You'd think Frontpage would make it MORE IE compatible.

[jamesb]

Frontpage makes sites non-IE incompatible ... and after the push update to IE7 that's occurring around about now, most of those previously only IE compatible pages will most-likely become IE7 incompatible.

[damienps.livejournal.com]

Arrgh, I meant buggers it up so it only looked what you designed on IE

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

hee

Reporting website carnage in Firefox 1.5.7 for Mac *pets it*

[breimh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it did the same for me, with both IE and FF, but IE I could at least read the text. The icons are out of place on IE. But, it is just because someone used FrontPage instead of a real editor. It'll just be a matter of the company hiring a real web designer, instead of leaving it to their sys. admin. to save a few $$$.

[freetrav.livejournal.com]

This is a beautiful example of how NOT to use FrontPage.

It's not an inherent problem with FrontPage (trust me on this), but there does appear to be an inherent problem with the FrontPage USER. This code is craptastic, even for badly-used FrontPage.

[jrrhack.livejournal.com]

Yes this page sucks

[marmoe.livejournal.com]

It looked good on IE7 for the blink of an eye - then the page load was complete and it jumped to the garbled version you see on Firefox 2.

looked good for a second in the yahoo browser, (we use them for internet, not IE) then it got all squishy.
