Navigation links don't appear

Hamrut · 06-17-2009, 02:49 PM

I set up a couple of web sites using MS Publisher 2003. I've had no trouble with them. However, last weekend I had to do a clean reinstall of MS XP Pro and wound up with Internet Explorer 8 (I'm not sure what I had before). Anyway, now when I access those sites, the navigation blocks at the top of the page don't show. I get to the home page but can't navigate to any other page. The sites are: www.wianc.org and www.washingtonislandmusicfestival.com. I do see the navigation blocks on another computer running IE 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, it's difficult to maintain a site if I can't see it. Thanks. -- Ham

For some reason (mainly because it's poorly coded) Publisher uses an image map to use your links, the problem with this probably being that it's unsupported currently. If you want to fix this you're going to have to migrate to something different. Because doing it in publisher isn't going to happen. I suggest learning to code HTML: http://www.w3schools.com but apart from that fixing this problem is literally a re-write of your code.

Cheers,
