I created a website using Publisher '98.  It looks fine when viewed with
Internet Explorer; but, loses virtually everything when viewed with Firefox.
I am not certain why the HTML would be interpreted so differently.  Any
thoughts?

I haven't heard of Pub 98 having issues with FF. Please post the URL of the
website, and we'll take a look. Explain more specifically what you mean by
"loses virtually everything".

The images, links, pages, et cetera are lost when viewed in Firefox.  The
website is www.davidpnelson.com .  The difference is stunning between
viewing in IE and FF, and since some people (my brother for one) FF I would
like to figure out why this is happening.

Part of your problem is you are not using Pub 98...you are using Pub 2003
which does have some problems with cross browser support. I will be back in
the morning to suggest some fixes.

First of all, if you do have Pub 98, then you can produce your site with it,
and the results will likely have better cross browser support than Pub 2003.
You can run both versions on your computer.

If you want to stay with Pub 2003, then you need to realize that it produces
some "smart" code for IE, and some "dumb" code for other browsers, and
sometimes that code just doesn't look good in FF or other browsers. To tweak
it, you can:

First of all always run the Design Checker under Tools, to see if there are
any basic problems with your layout and design. You have apparently used the
insert html code fragment to insert your skype stuff. Make sure the code
fragment box does not overlap any other element, and perhaps if nothing else
helps, try dragging it off the page into the scratch area and see if the
pages look better without it.

Second, go to Tools > Options > Web tab. Uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...", and switch Encoding to Unicode UTF-8 coding and if that is what you
are already using, try Western European (ISO).

Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages:

Don't use Masterpages.

Use Publish to the Web to produce new HTML files, delete your old files, and
upload the new after testing.

Download and install FF even if you don't want to use it for browsing. Then
when you publish to the web, direct your output to your computer somewhere
you can find it. Open FF, File > Open and browse to where you saved your
files and open the index.htm file to test your html before you upload it.

If you load Pub 98, do a custom install, and create a different folder to
install it into, such as Publisher98. If you let it install into the default
location, it could try to overwrite Pub 2003.
