I recently used MS Expressions Web 4 to completly rebuild my web site. It displays fine on IE but I just got an Ipad and Safari murders the home page. "About Us" page is also distorted. All the Photo Album pages are OK. I am a 74 year old amateur, and web development is not my strong suit...I know nothing about HTML code!
Thanks in advance

My site is here:

Could someone with both browsers check it out on both to see my problem?

height = 800% is causing stretching of your page image
<img alt="" height="739" src="s57A%20web%20site%20home%20page%20liftng%20fog%20pollys%20dock.jpg" style="height: 800%; width: 80%; vertical-align: middle; border-style: solid; border-width: 3px" width="1080" /></p>

Thank you very much. I deleted the home page image and then put it back in again without dragging a corner to resize it. Could you suggest a "fix"? I am very much afraid of going into Code View and changing what I have no idea what I am doing. Perhaps I should just be happy my home built site works with most browsers.
Happy New Year

Sorry Dave I have no experience with this application, you shouldn't be too worried get a good tutorial of the application and work through it, only when you have issues you can't resolve with the tools provided then it's time to seek help and work at code level.

My appologies for not responding sooner, and thanking all who helped. What I finally did, at someone's suggestion, was to delete the home page image. Then I resized it to about 720 pixels wide in Photoshop, then reinstalled it on the home page. At first when I went to Safari on my new ipad, it did not work. Today I tried it and it works!!! A consultant I spoke to said it was probaly a cache issue, and when I rebooted, the cache was cleared, and now it is fine. I still am not entirely happy with the home page. I want the image centered, and the "buttons" under it to be visiable without scrolling. I have contacted a Consultant, and made arrangements for her to come to our home and look over my shoulder, and show me how to change code to do that.
Again, thanks all who took their valuable time to help me. Happy New Year
