Hi.

Specs:
Leopard
Dreamweaver CS3
FireFox 2.0

FireFox will not preview from Dreamweaver. Displays site not found error. Safari works fine.
Also, when I published my site to the web, it looks correct in Safari but wrong in FireFox. In FireFox, rollovers when clicked display a dashed bounding box, and thumbnails that are linked to pop up windows are stroked with either a blue or purple line. Also when I go back to a previous page, the rollover will be stuck in it's second position until I touch it again with my cursor, etc etc...Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jarod

Hey Jarod,

The dotted bounding box is normal in firefox - it's the way that firefox distinguishes images for you when you click on one.

The blue / purple border around the images is the default link color and thus applied to images if they have a border. Images have the default border of 1 - to remove the border you must set the image border to 0. You can also change the border color.

When you use the back button in firefox to go back to a page firefox attempts to recreate the page as you last saw it in case their was in data that you need. For instance if you fill out a form and go to the next page and then hit the back button - Firefox will try and restore the text in fields. Generally this is not something done by the website but rather by the browsers ability to remember what you've done.

Hope this helps,



Abraham

Thanks.
I see that the dashed border appears on other sites when clicked, but the colored borders still appear on my site before they are clicked. I checked my code and all borders are set to 0. All this is specific to viewing FireFox.

Hey Jarod,

On the page

Your images arn't set to border 0
e.g.

<img src="../assets/pics/175x175_pics/BLM.jpg" alt="BLM intro" name="clip" width="175" height="175" align="right" id="clip7" style="background-color: #999999" />

You need border=0 somewhere in there.
That's from this page:

I see. I'll try that...
Thanks a lot!

Any ideas about not being able to preview in FireFox?

I believe the preview in Firefox problem is specific to the way Dreamweaver creates the URL on a Mac for Firefox. Try making the url in Firefox the same as it is in Safari - I believe the word "Volumes" is left out.

Basically it's a pain to preview in Firefox on a Mac - let me know if this is in fact the problem as I use a PC.

You are correct. Using the address from Safari works in FireFox and displays correctly. The word "volumes" is indeed the discrepancy. Also inserting border="0" works.

You, sir, have made my day.
Thank you.
