Question
Hi Dawn,

It sounds like we may be zeroing in on the answer.

The site is http://www.stmarksheboygan.com/ .  The calendar can be accessed by the link at the bottom of the Welcome page.  The page I am currently working with is the Revitalization page.  This came from Publisher via the route previously described.  The only thing I did in Nvu was add the links at the bottom.  The site host is godaddy.com .

I have one other question which hopefully has a very simple answer.  I have a page on the site I want to get rid of but I cannot figure out how to delete it in Nvu.  That is the calendar0812.html page relative to the home page.  (Therre is no link.)  I can delete all the content (which I have done) but not the page itself.  I can't find anything in the help about it nor anything on an initial search of the web.

Happy New Year,
Mark

Answer
Hi Mark,

I see some of your problems. I looked at your source code and without going into details, you will have to know some html to sort out why it's rendering as an overlay. It looks like there is a CSS coding added to the VML and it created a conflict. The one of the many problems with your VML code is the <head> tag. It should look like this:
<html>
<head>
 <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
 <title>Revitalization</title>
</head>....

It currently looks like this:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
 <link rel="File-List" href="Revitalization_files/filelist.xml">
<!--[if !mso]>

Notice all the additional coding after <html and that you have no closed <head tag? That's where the overlay is coming from. But that's just one of many problems. That particular page is just a jumbled up mess.

Did you try to import your Publisher html into Nvu? It probably would have been easier to just  recreate the website in Nvu instead of trying to unravel all the Publisher coding. Your site is pretty straight up it's not really hard to do.

Let me play around with it and I'll get you started. We'll have to take this conversation off the Microsoft Publisher site. You can email me at rejavanation@cox.net. I'll help you reconstruct your site and teach you a little html if you time.

Very Respectfully,

Dawn
