Hi

In the last two days I have found that any uploads of my site have resulted
in 'no shows' for images in the first 3 pages. All looks well in Frontpage
but the website contains just a blank rectangle (correct size) with the
small red 'x' symbol. The rest of the site still has images intact but I
am reluctant to fiddle with them in case I reproduce the problem throughout
the site.
I have deleted/reinstalled the images as gif/jpg; tranparent/opaque and
resized, uploaded by Frontpage Publish and WS_FTP and CuteFTP but with no
success.
The site I am working on is www.sixtyone.fslife.co.uk

Help please

There does not appear to be an images folder at
http://www.sixtyone.fslife.co.uk/images/
Where are you uploading them to

Hi Ivor,

There are several ways that this can happen, and all of them are related to
how you use FrontPage to manage/develop your web site. the correct way to do
it is to open the web in FrontPage in order to work on any item in that web.
If you don't, FrontPage will have problems of several varieties, depending
upon what you do. For example, if you open a page in a web without opening
the web in FrontPage first, FrontPage won't know that the page (file) is in
a web, as you haven't opened a web yet, and FrontPage is also capable of
working with stand-alone HTML documents as well as documents in a web. Since
FrontPage doesn't know that the page is in a web, because you didn't open
the web first, and then open the page from the web, and you add a picture to
the page, FrontPage will put in a File URL to the picture, pointing to the
file location on your machine where the picture resides. It will not import
the image into the web. It will not update the link to the image to point to
a relative location in the web. It doesn't know that the page is part of a
web. It simply puts the file location URL into the page, and that's that.
Then when you publish, the images aren't there.

The same goes for any operation you perform on your web or web items without
opening them through FrontPage after opening the web they reside in. And the
same goes for publishing by using any other means than FrontPage, as
FrontPage keeps track of things in a web by writing in meta-data to files
and folders in the web when you work on the web in FrontPage. So, never use
FTP or any other means to publish items from your local web to your public
web site.

Depending upon what caused the problem in your case, recalculating
hyperlinks in both your local and live webs may help. You may need to import
the images into your web (again, only using FrontPage to do it), and publish
them as well.

Mybe you can help me too.
My images keep disapearing too. My site is not published yet. The rotating
soccerballs keep "going away" and displaying the square (w/red X) that
indicates that it can not find the picture.

What would casue this. I keep figuring out how to fix it then it happen
again. Can't put my fingure on it but wasting a lot of time.

What would cause it is that the pictures are not where the image tags say
they are. Check the image tag, and see where it says the images are located.

This is not true the image will always be the same place it seems to be a
problem/glitch with fp2k3
I have this problem but the upside is the images will still show in preview
mode, so its still there just for some reason they don't display often in
design mode...

You can replicate (problem) this by creating a web and saving some picture
to the image file.
display more that one photo on a page and save. Next close the page then the
web then reopen the web then page (if this does not happen the first times
give it a few tries)

That my word... good luck
 
Okay, you're on your own.

Yes they are being imported
In fact I stop importing and saving directly to the folder then do a refresh
of the web/folder view
then insert the image from the location in the web (images folder)

Also Kevin I did not mean to offend...
I don't know for a fact that this is a glitch but it would seem that way...
thought the problem might occur in small numbers it is still a problem.

Maybe Fp2k3 has a rendering problem in the design view. BTW what are the
tmep files that needs to be deleted every one in a while e.g. .temp .web etc
 
It is not a bug in FP2003 or it would affect all users
It's a bug or anomaly on your system with IE, or the OS, or directX, or graphics drivers
- all of which FP heavily relies on

Reinstall IE, and check for all OS/IE/directX/graphic driver updates
