I think this is a common problem for newbies...I created a webpage using frontpage but my images aren't showing up online. I know these are saved on my computer only and that is why they aren't showing up..but what's up with saving embedded objects? Why doesn't Frontpage save these images into the code? Hope you aren't laughing at me by now! :) The strange thing is that even text boxes aren't showing up! And the background isn't either. I created a layered banner and now I have no idea how to save this. I tried print screen but this doesn't work in Frontpage. Please, please any help much appreciated!

"Why doesn't Frontpage save these images into the code?" Because that is not how HTML works. HTML was first designed as text only. Image support was added later and are included by linking to the image (not the same as a hyperlink). This is more efficient. The "page" can be loaded in less than a second allowing the user to read the content immediately even if the images have not been loaded correctly. If the images were embedded the browser could not display the page until all of it had been received. I wouldn't even want to think about what kind of problems that would cause. So, anyway, you need to uplaod your images to the web server in the same structure as you have them on your computer (i.e. relative to the root of your website). "The strange thing is that even text boxes aren't showing up! And the background isn't either." Well, all I can say is you should dump FrontPage. In my opinion it is a POS. It adds way too much additional code that is not needed which adds bloat and makes debugging the code near impossible. I suggest you learn HTML and/or get a better WYSIWYG HTML editor. I only use text editors for HTML coding so I can't personally recommend anything, but a lot of people recommend DreamWeaver. Michael J

I agree with Michael J. Take the time to learn at least basic HTML because the payoff is so great. You will know exactly where to find problems with your page and you can make it "Strict" compliant. I use notepad for smaller pages. Matt matt@bbcomputing.co.uk www.bbcomputing.co.uk
