Frontpage insanity

I hate frontpage as much as the next guy... but unfortunately I'm kind of stuck making it work since it's all a client has to use.

I was working on their webpage using dreamweaver / fireworks, but they wanted to make sure they can still edit text and stuff afterwards with frontpage 2003.

I made a banner with some dropdown menus and then theres a content area.

Its crudely from a dreamweaver CSS template (halo right nav)... but the page doesn't really resemble the original file much at all.

Everything displays fine in Firefox and Internet explorer. It also displays fine in dreamweaver.

Frontpage on the other hand can't seem to figure it out.... anytime there is a <br> tag, or the type wraps, it doesn't show down a line in frontpage, instead it tries to show the text on top of the other text.

I imagine this has to be some deep-rooted problem with how its parsing/displaying the CSS, but I really dont know for sure. I'd really rather not have to completely redo the page layout just because of some CSS stuff in frontpage.

Long story short, does anyone know why it is displaying wrong? And could anyone help me fix it?

Here are some images of how it displays in frontpage in editing view.

Here is the CSS file

HTML source is available just viewing the above page...

Thanks to anyone who actually read this post,

Talking

I don't know if this will fix your frontpage problems but

I noticed some errors right off the bat when I looked at the html:

1. In div id="Layer1" you have a width listed of: 753px and a height of:146px, but inside that div you have a table with a width of 755px and a total of 160px of height that includes the images and height of the nested tables.

So in other words, the div id that encompasses those nested objects doesn't have enough space allocated for them.

2. div class="style1" (Class style1 cannot be found in your stylesheet)

3. Class "feature" has a height defined but no width defined. maybe put width = 755px would help things..

Those are just a few things I saw right off the bat. Frontpage sucks though so anything would screw it up..

Sorry, I forgot to update.

I found/fixed the problem a couple hours ago.

turned out there was a "line-height:" parameter defined for the body in the CSS sheet. (I commented it out).

Removing this didn't seem to affect any formatting in browsers/dreamweaver, but it makes it display in frontpage correctly now.

Thanks for those other suggestions Iturea, I mide as well fix those issues too.
