need some dreamweaver help

I'm building a website using dreamweaver, I'm using flash text as the menu on the left hand side. When I upload everything it takes a single click on a mac to open the page. When I try it on a windows machine it takes a double click. They don't have to be fast clicks either. I can click, give it a second then click again and it opens up. Any ideas? its driving me nuts

Click to expand...

This is a "security" thing with internet explorer. It makes you click it to activate it because it is considered an ActiveX control to microsh*t which they used to like, but now they bitch about it being bad for security (my ass). To avoid this, don't use flash (a lot of people in this forum will agree), just use normal text. BTW: can you give us a link to the site?

There are workarounds for the activeX issue. Google it.

I would suggest that you learn the basics of css and xhtml to make your site ready for the future. Table based layouts are not a wise thing and you can recreate the layout you have easily once you know the basics of css. A good place to start is here (for xhtml) and here (for css). I recommend you read these and search up some more. BTW: You can easily do that flash menu in xhtml and css as shown here. Hope this helps.

no problem

good for a first website!
