Hello. I'm new to Dreamweaver and am having an issue I can't figure out. I
was hoping someone might have insight into where my problem is.

In the following site, http://www.firststepshr.biz, it previews as designed in
Internet Explorer. However, in Firefox, extra white space is appearing above
and below the Flash header. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why
there's this difference.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, in advance, for the advice.

Jeremy

I don't see extra white space in FF2x.

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -

1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will not be
spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do? You will have
to remake those buttons.

It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from the next version of
Dreamweaver.

I know, I agree. But, the clients love Flash. Harder to maintain, but pretty.
:-) I do need to get better about including alternative links for pages,
though.

Thanks for checking it out. Maybe it's a FF3 thing. That's the version I
have installed. If so, I wonder if it's a bug in the new version. If anyone
else can see the issue and has any ideas, I'd welcome the suggestions.

Thanks Murray! I appreciate the input.

If you are going to use Flash navigation, this is not a 'need' it's a
'must'.

The place to start with any layout problems is the W3 validator.

Fix those....
