FrontPage and pdf and graphic files

[billgeo]

I have a pdf file that I link to so users can then read, print or save the
file. In FrontPage when I use Alt-Click to follow the hyperlink Adobe
Reader opens the file. However when I "preview in browser" after saving the
page the link does not work. The cursor changes to the finger when I
position adobe the link, but clicking does not open Adobe in a new window or
otherwise.

I have tried with old files, new files and still the same result. I have
tried opening in a new window or not, and still there is nor response in the
browser. The only way it works perfectly is in FrontPage and using the
Alt-Click to follow the hyperlink.

I also have a problem with inserted graphics not showing in the browser,
even though the file is in the images folder. Have tried jpg, gif and png;

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Does the link work after you have published/uploaded the site to the live/remote server?

Can you post a link to the page?

Preview in browser may not work if you are previewing the page without a web
server. Sometimes it behaves oddly. Most likely though, it is the browser
security settings because, when a web server isn't present and you try to
open an HTML file, the browser turns off things that could be suspect since
a locally browsed HTML file runs in higher privilege than when viewed
through a web server (in other words, a virus or trojan embedded in a pdf,
image, flash animation can do far more damage).

Hope this helps,
