That is a known problem caused by specifying color:transparent in the stylesheet.
Remove that rule or specify the text color that you want to use.

Dear madam / sir, Your solution is what I was looking for since half a year ago. Thanks a lot (loooooooooooooooooot) for your response. I am very pleased. In Holland people like you deserve a ‘’warm shower’’.

May I ask you advice for a (new?) problem I have ? In some pages I have very long lines in Firefox and I need to scroll all to the right to see everything. In Internet Explorer I do not have this problem. For instance it occurs in the page http://www.genealogie-stamboom-schrama-gravenmade-bollenstreek.nl/konijnen.htm . Can you help me ? I thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English. Sincerely yours Gerard Schrama

Welcome.

That is a problem with the links in the footer line that have non-breakable space code <nobr> and &nbsp; and that causes that entire like to be displayed as one very long line.
You will have to remove those <nobr> and &nbsp; codes and change the code to how you want that line to appear.
I'm on Linux, so can't text what it looks like in IE, but Google Chrome shows that same long line as Firefox.

<nobr><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="" STYLE="text-decoration: none;">Start</A></nobr>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<nobr>

I am sorry to bother you again, but when I search for nobr using Frontpage I find 65 pages with 4672 times nobr, but when I select one of those pages I cannot find nobr in that page.

Is <nobr><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="" STYLE="text-decoration: none;">Start</A></nobr> | <nobr> what you mentioned in your last answer an example or should I search for this string to get the pages with the long lines ?

And I wonder what you mean with footer line, does it mean the links to other pages at the bottom of my pages ?

That is part of the code on the page that you mentioned having that problem.
It is the longest line on that page, so you can hardly miss it.
That line is coded in such a way with &nbsp; entities that browsers won't wrap it (of course IE ignores it and displays it like you want it).
You can try to change the second &nbsp; after the pipe (|) separator to a normal space.
The NOBR only seems to be used for the links, so that is probably OK as you do not want to split a link over more than one line.

You can see the effect with this bookmarklet:

javascript:void((e=document.getElementsByTagName('SMALL')[0]).innerHTML=e.innerHTML.replace(/( )([|])( )/g,'$1$2 '));

I would suggest that you not use Frontpage for editing web pages. It was intended to make pages for Internet Explorer, but not for other browsers. Kompozer is supposed to be very good. You can get it here:
