My site - prepared in Frontpage 5.0 but published on a linux/apache server - When viewing a 700 pixel table containing a photogallery slide show of pictures and when viewed in FF but not IE the width goes to the full extent of all the thumbnails ie 20ish picture times 200 pixels = approx 4000 pixels wide. rather than the intended 700 viewed in IE

Aside - I apologise for the meta name desciption content size - i cant get rid of it in frontpage grrr....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. view in ff
2. view in ie
3. conclusion - one is a lot wider than the other




tried Safe mode - no difference. This is an auto generated javascript from frontpage - I wouldnt know how to tinker with it

FrontPage is a very good soldier in the browser wars: it tells IE (or anything claiming to be IE) to scroll the images, and tells Firefox (or anything it decides is Netscape 6) to show a big wide page with the hated horizontal scrollbar.
