MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / February 2006pictures have wrong URL
I'm running Windows XP, Publisher 2003 SP2 I'm sorry to have to ask this, I have been through all the good info on this site for the publishing of web sites and trouble shooting them and etc, but still haven't found the fix. I have been using Publisher 98 for YEARS, and loved it. (And at this point wondering why I upgraded)..... But. I have a web site that I can't get the pictures to show up. When looking at the source of the page, the URL still points to the SRC being from the ftp address that I loaded all the site info too... and not a http:// reference to load the picture. I have attached to the upload site with ws_ftp and the files are there (pictures and all). I get a Red X on the web page when the page is loaded. I have tried publishing to a local file, and then using ws-ftp to put the files up. I have done all the instructions from your FAQ's, but to no fix. I read on a posting last year that service pack 3 is recommended and then one can use "export". ?? Thanks for your help! I forgot URL: http://rashidclinic.5u.com > I'm running Windows XP, Publisher 2003 SP2 > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Thanks for your help! Yes, there has been a lot of changes, some good, some not so good. If you decide that you prefer Pub 98, you can run both on your computer. Just install into a different folder on your computer. But as to your problem... If you look at your source code, you will see " src="ftp://rashidclinic.5u.com/index_image3101.jpg" alt="picture of Mark ". If you first copy and paste this into your browser: ftp://rashidclinic.5u.com/index_image3101.jpg You get nothing, but if you then change it to: http://rashidclinic.5u.com/index_image3101.jpg you find your image. You do need to be using http:// , not ftp:// DavidF > I forgot URL: http://rashidclinic.5u.com > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > > Thanks for your help! Thanks... I understand that. The problem is that is "generated" code. I dragged and dropped that picture into publisher, and then I publish to the web. If I use publisher to publish to the web with ftp... that is the SRC that is generated for all my pictures... they all start with ftp. If I publish to the web to a folder, I get the picture is a link to a folder directly from my system. (viewing source). How do I get publisher to make that picture SRC be a http:// reference to the file that has been uploaded already. I don't understand why the picture URL changes when I use different methods to upload the web site. > I'm running Windows XP, Publisher 2003 SP2 > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Thanks for your help! There are a number of threads in this newsgroup about the danger of dragging and dropping pictures into Publisher. Try using the Insert | File option and see if that solves the problem. > Thanks...

I notice today that your image does load ok on the home page, while the images on the Directions page still don't. What did you do different? Did Brucels suggestion about inserting the image help? I notice that the code does point to the http location or the image now... I know that when the coding engine was changed in Pub 2002, that the way it handled images was changed, and perhaps inserting the images vs. linking to the images from your Publisher document to where they are located on your hard drive does make a difference. Pub 2000, and perhaps Pub 98, would "follow the link" to the image on your hard drive, make a copy, and include it with the HTML. Starting with Pub 2002, you did have to actually insert (embed) the image into the Pub file. One other thing that you probably already know, be sure to delete all the old files on your host when you republish. DavidF > Thanks... I understand that. The problem is that is "generated" code.
