FP/html

I have been inserting background images into pages,
tables and cells. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. I first became aware of it when I first
published the web to a site and no one was seeing my
backeground image. Jim Buyens pointed out that:

Your <body> tag contains the following attribute, which
is apparently trying to specify a background picture
background="file:///C:/LivingStructures/BtB%20rnd.jpg"

This will only work if the Web visitor's computer
contains a picture named "BtB rnd.jpg" at the path
C:\LivingStructures\.

To fix this:

1. Open your Web site.
2. Drag the picture file "BtB rnd.jpg" out of
C:\LivingStructures\ and drop it in your /images
folder.
3. Open your page.
4. Right-click the page, choose Page Properties, and
click the Formatting tab.
5. Under Background, click the Browse button and then
select the copy of "BtB rnd.jpg" that's in your
/images folder.

Yet FP2002 continues to insert the full path name into
the html even though the file is in the images folder. If
I go back and and change it (images/BtB rnd.jpg) it takes
it and checking the html it is fine but when I open the
cell or table or page properties dialog boxes it displays
the full path in the background field.
It is driving me nuts: I can't see the bad display
because it exists on my hard drivebut everyone else does
I don't know why FP is doing it or how to stop it

try changing the path through the table or cell property dialog box, but
this time browse to the image contained within the web you're working on.

also you may want to hit tools/ recalculate hyperlinks, then do a full
publish, just to make sure the images make it up to the server along with
your changed path information.

Sheesh. I meant one of any consequence. Or maybe I should say, one that
would affect anything in contemporary web development.
