Formatting gone bad

Guest

I've been using layout tables and cells for the design of our websites. But
a funny thing happens after publishing - sometimes! If I use the borders in
cell corners and shadows and have to change the size of the layout cell or
move it, when I save, it also saves another image file to reflect what I've
changed. (I put all the image files into an Index Image file.) Initially,
the website looks fine but a couple of days after publishing, the cell
corners disappear and I have little "x's" at the corner of each of my title
boxes. When you go in and look at the code, it has changed from the
http://(websitename).com to the file on our desktop computers --- as if it
had NOT been published. If we go in and change all the addresses back to the
http://, save it and republish, then everything appears as it should. What
am I doing wrong? Is there a way to keep this from happening? I"m really
frustrated and needless to say, it would help the communication between my
hubby and me! LOL

Sounds like you are working with "loose" pages on your local machine and not
a web site.
All your web files need to exist within a web site folder on your local
machine...not in a normal folder.

How are you opening your website when you want to work on it? List steps;
