Not a FrontPage user, but I can tell you that your page is very broken: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ML+4.01+Strict

what do you mean Broken? don't understand what that means

He means that your code is not standard. It doesn't validate-- there are over 300 errors.
Frontpage is a VERY bad program for generating standard code. That's unfortunate, but true.

So, what you have is a mess of code that will work sometimes, but if you do find problems (and likely will), then debugging will be a nightmare.

The easiest way to fix this is to first make the page valid (not that it'll be very fast, with 300 errors-- sorry), and then you should be able to deal with the actual problems on the page, using standard techniques and not worry about lack of browser compatibility.

Basically, frontpage generates code arbitrarily which I think is usually suited for IE. It doesn't take into account making the code valid or other browsers, so that's probably what's wrong here.

Realize that invalid code doesn't exactly mean it won't work-- it means it's just random luck how and which browsers will support it. So it might seem like it's working, except one thing, but fixing that one thing might be really hard. You also don't know how your page will look on another system, like a browser you haven't tested. With valid code, it's much more likely that it'll work across most/all browsers, and easier to debug if not.
