Subject: Re: Photos not displayed on website

The MVP's (Bob included) take joy in proving me wrong and rude rather than
assisting users of this forum in a timely fashion. It has been nearly
fourteen hours since you supplied a URL and yet no reply :-((

Your main page has NO broken image links that I can see?

This page on the other hand has five broken image links all pointing to the
same address as the page itself, rather than the location of the images?
This needs fixing.
http ://www.rockisland.com/~orcas/photos.htm

This URL is likely not valid?
Two folders up would be the hosts folder. Is that were your images are
stored.
<a href="../../My%20Pictures/Peace%20&amp;%20Plenty/P1010033.JPG">

You should also make sure that you have a sub-folder below your orcas folder
with the following name:
photos_files

If you are capable of sorting out all that excess garbage and viewing the
page in manageable prespective with a "text editor?"
Than you are a better man than I and most any websmaster I know and could
command a highly paid postion at most any web design comapany.
That page when viewed with a text editor contains 95% of useless code which
adds unnecessary bulk to your html.

Hi Bob,

As Don points out, there appears to be some missing content
and links back to your hard drive.  This can occur when you
use a client other than Word to do the uploading of the
web page if you start with hard drive references.  Some of
what is listed below is covered in Don's posting as well.

It appears that in one instance the page you're having the problem with is
on http://www.rockisland.com/~orcas/photos.htm ?

In looking for the source code for that page it appears that
the links on some  graphics are pointing not to your web server
but rather to your hard disk.  For example:
 <a href="../../My%20Pictures/Peace%20&amp;%20Plenty/P1010033.JPG">

In another, the graphic is pointing to a folder of supporting graphics
created by Word (2003) but that folder has no content on your web site
(returns 404 error codes).  Was the supporting folder to "/photos.htm"
("/photos_files") uploaded?

 src="photos_files/image004.jpg"
(i.e.http://www.rockisland.com/~orcas/photos_files/image004.jpg)

For use on a public web site, see if using File=>Save As Web Page, Filtered
(after first saving a 'working copy' in .DOC format on your hard drive
helps.  Also, you may want to consider either placing the graphics on
the site first by FTP and linking to them there through Word or
placing the web page and it's graphics in a folder to upload as a
set turning off the 'supporting folder' option in
 Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]

Also, if your web host supports FrontPage server extensions then
you can use File=>Save As  and to the web page save directly from
Word.  When that occurs the links are updated on the fly by Word
to match the storing host location, so that references to local
drives are precluded.

Word is intended primarily for folks who want to save a web page
directly to a web host from Word, with no knowledge of HTML other
than File=>Save as Web Page or File=>Save as Web Page-Filtered.

There are a variety of tools for 'handtooling' web pages, some free,
some not, including MS Office Frontpage (http://office.microsoft.com/frontpage )
I upload using "WsFTP limited edition". the url
is "rockisland.com/~orcas"

I uncheck "allow PNG graphics"
I check "disable features not supported by these browsers"
I check "rely on css formatting"
"Rely on VML" is unchecked
and "Save new web pages..." is checked <<
