I have been trying to figure out how to view my page I made in Frontpage
2000, uploaded to ebay after copying the html cooding in the auction
description area. It doe snot carry all particulars of pictures background
etc. Wondering if there are conflicts, or something else I could do within
frontpage to hold all particulars of the page. ANY HELP with this would be
great. I have banging my head over this since 8 AM this morning it is now
5:42PM
 
Teri,

If you copied html code and pasted it as you described, the probable reason
the images are not showing up is because they are not referenced correctly.

For example your background image probably looks something like this in the
code view:
<body background="images/yourbackground.jpg" >

The page on E-bay now looks for the "Images" folder, that contains your
background file. Since it is not there, it will not return a background
image.

If you are going to paste code to E-bay, is what you need to do is upload
your image files to a web server and then reference them within the code. For
example your background image would look like this:
<body background="http://www.mydomain.com/images/yourbackground.jpg" >

Now when the page is served on E-bay, it will look to the absolute path of
the image files and return them properly.
