email link to icons / older browsers

I made an email link to an icon. In Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 3.0 pc users don't have a problem.
But with IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5 they have. Can I (or you?) solve this for them?
Thanks, Veronique

You can solve it by telling them to update their software. Firefox 1.5 is really old. Since the software is freeware I really don't see any reason for not updating it.

As to IE: InternetExplorer is InternetExplorer... For some people it works, for others it doesn't. It also always depends on their preferences and so on. Have them downloading Safari or Firefox. IE is causing a lot of trouble to webmasters all over the web (not only people using iWeb).

I see no other way to solve it, sorry.

You should make icon links but link some text too.
On the current version of mr website I used the icons only to add to information.
You can make interesting links using dingbats at 100 or more points. they are text and you can do things you can't with shapes.
