For some reason, when I create my graphics and buttons in Fireworks, and export them as HTML pages, and put them in Dreamweaver - they do not show up in Netscape... they work just fine in IE however. I am wondering if there is some import trick that I am missing, because when I preview them within fireworks, they work fine in netscape! Anybody have any ideas?thanks,
Jeff

my advise is, to <b>not</b> use the export as HTML feature...
Netscape has always dealt with tables in a wierd way, and the HTML generated by fireworks isn't exactly optimized... so I would expect issues.
even though it may take a little more time, I always make the HTML table layouts myself, and place the graphics in them manually. this gives you a cross-browser display (usually), smaller download times (less HTML, and no shim.gif's), and more control.
