Major problems with pictures on homepage

A year ago I made a homepage using publisher and uploaded it to the Internet
without any problems. A couple of weeks ago I added a few pages to the pub
file, removed the old files from the ftp server and uploaded the new version
of my pub document (after "publish to the web", of course). Now all pictures
are replaced by red crosses. I have been struggling to find the solution, but
as far as I can see, the pictures in the html files are linked to the
pictures on my harddisk drive, not to the uploaded pictures. Looking in the
html files on the ftp server, there is the index-file and a folder with
pictures & html doc "index-filer", as it is supposed to be. Please, please
help me out. The homepage address is www.hedekashus.se.

If you look at your site in FF you will notice that only the text is
visible. My guess is that you put the navbar and the images on a master
page. Don't use a Master Page in a Pub web publication.

If that isn't the problem, post back.

Hej David,
I wish that would have been the solution but no, I am not using a master
page. (I used a pre-defined Publisher template for websites initially). Any
other tips, please?

Hej...maybe it will be easier to find a solution if I tell you I use
Publisher 2007 & Vista? Forgot to apply that information before...

Ok, then I am not sure what you are doing wrong, but all your images and
your links on your navbar are pointing to your C drive, on your local
computer. So some questions:

No insult intended, but are you sure that you aren't using a master page.
Open your Publisher file, go to View > Master Page. Do you have your menu or
anything else on the Master page?

When you "Publish to the Web" and produce the HTML output, the index.htm
file and the "index-filer" folder, do you direct the output to your computer
and then use a third party FTP client to upload your files?

What are the specific steps you take from the time that you open your
Publisher file to uploading the html files to your server? Something you are
doing in this process is causing Publisher to write the links and the paths
to your supporting images to your local computer.

Hej David,
thank you for trying...I have been struggling with this for two weeks. I did
exactly as you write - view - master page - and it comes up empty. So I don't
think that is the problem. This morning, however, I opened an empty pub file
and made a one-pager saying that there is work ongoing...and when I uploaded
it, everything worked. So, a longshot: I opened a new file and spent the day
copy-pasting. Published my new file to the web, uploaded it with the SmartFTP
client (exactly as I did thousands of times with the corrupt file) and
everything worked perfectly. I don't know what was wrong, and I pray it
doesn't happen again, but at least it is solved for now. Thanks again for
your input. Kind regards,

Thanks for posting back. I am glad to hear that it worked out.

I suspect that when you added the pages to the original Pub file that you
corrupted the navigation bar, and in rebuilding the site you fixed that.
Just be careful when you add pages in the future...and or if it happens
again, then look to repair the navbar.
