Thanks demonhale, I'm taking a look at Dreamweaver and Microsoft Expression Web. Maybe it's time I bite the bullet.

It's just that keeping current with everything DVD related (video editing/DVD authoring) is no small task in itself.

I think you should take a serious look at Dreamweaver, at least it generates better code, and the learning curve to making websites is a little low, considering theres a plethora of tutorials for it already on the web.

Also when making sites and viewing it in firefox, always use "Ctrl+R" after viewing to ensure it gets the freshest information of the page...

I found a review on Expression Web Designer, part of which is as follows:

"The best thing is the software discover so many coding errors in my existing websites that Dreamweaver just ignored. And it is just so easy to correct these errors because Expression Web tells me exactly where it is and what to do about it. If you care about conforming to the stricter standards of XML and XHTML, there is no better tools for website development than Expression Web."

Is that possible? That it would find the errors and tell me what to do?

Or as an alternative: Would a lot of time/commitment be required to learn enough about the standards through reading, etc to be able to spot the errors and correct them myself?

Thanks guys:

Regarding the use of various code: I don't do any from scratch, so it's all put in by my software.

I just don't have the time to become an expert at it. Obviously, something needs to be done. I've been playing with the idea of hiring someone to create a site and maintain it, but am not making enough money from the site to justify the expense.

So maybe the answer for now is another program. The one I use cost under $100. Others (i.e. Microsofts Expression Web Designer) would result in a cleaner page?

Well, that page shows a lot of errors. Maybe that's why browsers are having a problem?

Sorry to say it, but your "site building software" looks like something from a previous century. I suggest upgrading to something more modern. I hear good things about Microsoft's Expression Web Designer.

I cant give you the technical answer, but basically clearing your cache, cookies etc works, I guess because you generally change code in pages that have already loaded, so they are already stored and cached, and certain code changes is tricky for the browser to update within your current cookies, temp, cache etc

All I know is, its sometimes required depending on what code you change.

as for your site,
A few of the images didnt load for me, and I have obviously never had the sites details in my browser

one of the images was this one
"Grand Canyon Trails. By cartographer Kent Schulte. A superior topographic map. $9.95"

Its the first image in the list

And a page refresh sorted it out.

Some other things I will point out
map of  Grand Canyon National Park.   This is  truly a hiker friendly map and will prove to be a'
Not sure why you used there?

And when I look at your source code, there seems to be an obscene amount of
Seemingly much more than what could possibly be required by the amount of content on your page
In fact, you have 568 entries of .

This may be correct, but just thought i'd point it out.

Good luck

Huh?! Great! I'll try it. Thank you.

I just tried it, and that took care of it (for the most part). Some of my images still don't want to load, but refreshing takes care of it.

Just curious, why would clearing my cache, history, cookies and authenticated sessions resolve this problem?

Thank you very much. I worked on this 'till 1 a.m. last night (fruitless) and expected to spend all day on it as well.

I'm guessing the error started in Firefox. I would try clearing your cache, history, cookies, etc, and trying again. The homepage loaded fine in my FF browser.
