start my site (www.genealogiebraun.eu) click on Genealogische informatie click on persoonskaarten or kwartierstaat or parenteel
and there you see the problem.!!!!

It is about web standards. A backslash is considered as a valid character (escaped as %5c) in a name and is not the same as the forward slash delimiter. Windows is the only platform that uses a backslash. Linux and Mac (both based on Unix/Linux) use a forward slash for path names on the hard drive.

Check your links to those pages. You're using '\' instead of '/'
iám using the correct slahses. Just Firefox can't present my site correctly.
Internet exploirer/ Google Grome / avant/ etc do the job as to be done.

If your site has to work in Firefox then you need to use W3C compliant html code. Your site is using code that only works in Internet Explorer like your VML stuff. Also it contains a numer of programming errors as you can see in the Errorconsole (foutconsole). So the problem is definitely not in Firefox. A program like Kompozer is capable of producing good quality websites. Your current program is not.
You need to use forward slashes in links.
You have backslashes in the not working links.
<a href="persoonskaarten\index.html"> - that should be: <a href="persoonskaarten/index.html"> <a href="stamlijst\stamlijst.htm"> - that should be <a href="stamlijst/stamlijst.htm"> <a href="parenteel_bestanden\default.htm"> - that should be <a href="parenteel_bestanden/default.htm">
IE may work with backslashes, but other browsers like Firefox require forward slashes in all links.
Also, as posted above by knorretje, your websites are MS Office documents with a lot of VML code that is ignored by Firefox and only work in IE properly.
found the solution!!
my texteditors (Word en Openoffice word) place the \ (back slash) instead of the / (forwardslash) in the hyperlink.
so I changed them by hand and the problem is over.
But why do IE and others can live with it and FIREFOX not???
Het gebruik van backslashes in url verwijzingen is niet toegestaan. Firefox is zeer streng met betrekking tot het naleven van de regels voor het maken van websites, de webstandaarden van het W3C. Dit betekent dat als er een fout in de website zit, Firefox gelijk reageert met een foutmelding en al heel snel weigert om nog iets weer te geven. Firefox is niet gauw tevreden, maar als het werkt, dan is het ook goed. Internet Explorer daarentegen is totaal niet streng en geeft alles weer wat maar iets op een website lijkt en maakt er een eigen interpretatie van. IE vindt alles best en hoopt dat het goed is. Er is dus een groot verschil in aanpak tussen de verschillende browsers.
