ive uploaded all my files that were designed in frontpage...all the links work...all the text is there..but no pictures?
i have uploaded them...including background for everypage but nothing shows up?
they never tell you the simple things....pah!
how do i do it? do i have to create a different directory or something?
First off, it's Frontpages fault.
Usually when this hapens the link to the image is linked to your hard drive. Best bet to check there first.
sorry to sound thick
but how do i correct this if its the problem?

Go to your webpage then click VIEW then SOURCE (in IE).
In the source code if the pictures point to a folder on your computer (such a C:\Documents and settings\myname\mywebs\picture.jpg ) then that's the problem.
Can you post the address and then maybe we can give you some pointers.
can also be something as daft as using CAPS in filenames but not in links and vice-versa.
Frontpage (windows) dont care about it but if your host is running linux they may stop working.

that should be just one giant jpeg
the jpeg is named Page 01.jpg and is uploaded to the same destination as the standard frontpage files.
:) im guessin the problem is the same with every other jpeg so once this one is sorted all the others should fall into place.
thanks for help....i cant believe they never put this stuff in the FAQ or anything...they tell you to do things..but dont tell you how!!

Cheers Theo. Found your problem:
Line 10:
<img border="0" src="../../../Personal/Internet%20Buying%20&%20Selling/Elephant%20STAMPS/Online%20Catalogue%20-%20Jpegs/Page2001.jpg" width="988" height="1243"></p>
First of all, rename your picture to PAGE2001.JPG
Now make sure it's in the same folder ON YOUR COMPUTER as the HTML page.
Now edit your web page (in Frontpage if you must <sigh>) and point it to that file.
If all goes well your code should look more like:
<img border="0" src="page2001.jpg" width="988" height="1243">
Now upload both files, making sure they're in the same folder on your web space.
The path to your image file is
../../../Personal/Internet%20Buying%20&%20Selling/
Elephant%20STAMPS/Online%20Catalogue%20-%20Jpegs/Page%2001.jpg
I found your picture at http://xthost.info/elephantstamps/Page%2001.jpg
If you can find a way of persuading FP to just use "Page%2001.jpg" as the image source, rather than the full path above, that will fix it.
Hope that helps.
Snap !
No need to rename the pic - %20 is code for a space.

Having spaces in filenames isn't really good practice. I'd recommend no spaces, or an underscore if absolutely essential to break up a name.

/images/image.jpeg and NOT c:/imagefolder/image.jpeg
;) That is like said above, Frontpage's fault.
