RE: FrontPage made thingies don't work in Mozilla, solution?
Well, i took a look at the source of http://koti.mbnet.fi/vilkku88/index.htm

It appears that somewhere this file will choose diffrent things on Internet Explorer and Mozilla based browsers.

If you got trough the source of this file you will somewhere see this:
code:
<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:rect id="_x0000_s1025"
alt="" style='position:absolute;left:195pt;top:150pt;width:375pt;height:481.5pt;
z-index:1' fillcolor="#1d1b18" stroked="f" strokeweight="4.5pt">
<v:textbox>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="218">
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top" height="218">
    <p align="right">&nbsp;</p>
    <p align="right"><span lang="sv-fi"><font color="#FF7538" face="Arial"><b>
    Wednesday, May 26</b></font></span></p>

And this whole big thing end somewhere on the bottom of the file with:
code:
    Guestbook</a> and <a href="links.html" style="text-decoration: none">Links</a>.</font></span></p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</v:textbox>
</v:rect><![endif]-->
Everything between that will ony be showed in Internet Explorer, after that you will see:
code:
<![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
absolute;z-index:1;left:260px;top:200px;width:504px;height:646px'><img
width=504 height=646 src="index_files/image001.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_s1025"></span><![endif]>
This is what will bee showed in other browsers. You could remove this last part and the remove "<!--[if gte vml 1]> and "<![endif]-->" at the begin and end of the Internet Explorer-Only part. If you do that the Firefox for example will display the real text instead of the picture. However, it isn't 100% perfect. Selecting text still doesn't go the way it should. And if you will modify the file after this with Frontpage again you probally end up with the same problem again or even more.

I guess Frontpage is just not really a Mozilla friendly editor, i heard Dreamweaver sticks better with the HTML specifications, you could give that a try if you interested: http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/ .
