Hi, I’m using FW 6.1.2 and noticed that recently the navigation menu is not working when viewing the site in Firefox. No changes have been made to the navigation recently and I’ve also seen that a page with a video shows a message in the box for the video saying that the embed code is not working. I’ve checked and the code has not changed and it is working in Safari.
Hope you can help! I need to make changes to the page with video this afternoon… that page is at: http://www.schooldaysmagazine.com/AWARDS-AND-RECOGNITION/recognitionvsmer.html
I do have the latest version of Firefox, and indeed the whole CSS menu is completely messed up. There’s a lot of extra styles going on, applied outside the CSS Action. There might lie the issue.
I’m not sure how to fix this. The menu is made using the standard CSS button on and as a list. Any tips? I do need them to be easy to follow as since doing this I have an eye problem with much reduced vision.

Safari is forgiving, Firefox is not. Change the directory structure so that
only acceptable characters are used and your problem goes away.

It’s the apostrophe in the url to a background image used in the menu, specifically…
Well spotted Ernie
Back to the old chestnut of sticking to Alphanumerics (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and _underscores and - hyphens in your file and folder names. No other characters should be used (not even spaces)
Do that and you wont fall fowl of the Browser/OS police.
All working perfectly well now, thanks to removing the apostrophe. Appreciate your help.

And speaking of Professor Higgins - no punctuation i.e. leaving the apostrophe out, makes one shudder….but so does a website that isn’t working properly!
Thanks,

It can be the silliest little things that trip us up.
The part that people see on their browser’s toolbar — the page title — can and should be entirely different than the filename. Freeway helpfully converts one into the other for you, but gives you total control over the filename. Once you touch this, it will stop being related to the title altogether. So your page title can be What’s New (with a properly-curled apostrophe) and the page filename can be what-is-new.html if you want to be correct about the english.
