Forum Moderators: open
I initially learned from Frontpage 98 myself. I eventually was forced to manipulate the code by hand and eventually got sick of Frontpage changing and formating my code for me that I now have been using notepad for about two years now.
You did not post any code so I don't know if you know how to copy and paste the code... here is my guess to try to help you help us...
In the visual editor of FP select the text box so that it is highlighted. Then switch to the code and the code will be highlighted. Copy and paste that code in to the forums here and put [ quote ] and [ / quote] tags (without the spaces between [ and ]) and we can go from there.
The only thing that pops in to mind initially is that you may be using a non-standard font. Arial, Times Roman Numerial, and Verdana are the standard fonts you will find on the vast majority of computers but I don't think this is the issue.
So just follow my directions and I'll try to help you out. And if you want to see what nice code looks like visit my site (in my profile) and you'll have a nice example of how easy and clean looking code can be.

I did notice that you mentioned it could be the font but left it as it was. I will change if I need to.

Should look like this [quote]
Same with the end quote.
Click on EDIT POST to do this. Way to messy if you can't organize your message from your code.
Thanks...
This is what you need to know. In XHTML/CSS you can use a font like that BUT you must provide a generic alternative. That means you can specifiy two fonts, and if the font you want initially can't be found (which there is a VERY high chance of) you still have control over what font will be used. You MUST choose a generic font for your alternative. If you don't then you automatically loose control over what font family will be chosen and in regards to web design this would be the same as closing your eyes while driving.
You should SERIOUSLY consider learning proper code and doing so by using a plain text editor like notepad.
I'll post tommorow when I wake up and try to get you a full fledged example.
Here is your first problem, you're using Frontpage. The difference between Microsoft and W3 is that the W3 sets the standards, Microsoft has a lot of money and therefor THINKS it sets the standards.
And what does any of the code that he posted have to do with FP at all?

TExt inside of text boxes displays poorly when on firefox
Can you give us some detail about what you mean by "displays poorly" and "looks good"?
And what does any of the code that he posted have to do with FP at all?
I may be wrong but I think he may have copied the code from FP.
Wolffy, can you post ALL the code of the page for us please? Also tell us if you made this page from scratch using Frontpage or if this was an existing file that you began editing. That should help us understand things from your perspective a bit better.
