Hi,

I need a bit of advice. What can I do to get pics and banners to show up correctly? When I use the insert link sometimes I can/can't see the pic or banner while I'm in preview. But then when I upload either they show up broken. Any advice that might help me out?

Actually, if you follow dbindel's suggestion, it'll only work in preview mode if your picture is already uploaded to the server.

If you change the graphic, this would force you to upload the graphic to the website before being able to preview it on your computer.

What I do is make my code using relative URLS (i.e. <IMG SRC="mypic.jpg">) and, when I'm ready to upload, do a batch Search & Replace throughout the site which uses regular expression to find the relative strings and add the "http://www.thewebsiteinquestion.com/" in front of it.

Okay, first I'm new at this so I'm only following what I'm told and shown. This an example of what works <td><center><a href="1.html"><img src="tnta0008.jpg" border="0"></a></center></td>

so does this

<td><center><a href="pic061.jpg"><img src="tn_pic061.jpg" width="84" height="130" alt="" border="0"</a></center></td>


but this doesn't

<td><center><a href="pic65.jpg"><img src="tn_pic065.jpg" width="84" height="130" alt="" border="0"></a></center></td> Why?

I don't think I can do that. To some people the link might be offensive.

When I am editing my page in First Page 2000, I usually type in the full URL for my pictures and links. That way I can see EXACLY what my page will look like when it is uploaded to the web. I am assuming of course that you edit your pages while you are online. Ok here's an exaple:

I want to have a banner named banner1.gif. I have it on my server under the /pics/ directory. Instead of just writing <img src="/pics/banner1.gif" ... i will write "http://www.geocites.com/blahblah/pics/banner1.gif"> That way my picture will always show up when I am editing online.
