I purchased a template and replaced some of the images with ones that I
created in Photoshop elements. my site is not propogated to the web yet but
when I test different browers in preview using FrontPage, the ones that I
created show up blank! What have i done wrong?

thanks
 
Please confirm you have done the following actions:

(1) open a site in FrontPage : File > Open > Site (or File > Open > Web
(depending on your FP version) )

(2) Import the images (Jpeg or Gif) into that site (File > Import / Add File
or Add Folder etc)

(2a) A short cut step would be to export/save for web from PS Elements and
save as JPEG/GIF direct to the Images folder in the web you're working on.

(3) Insert > Image....etc ?

When you say the images "show up blank" I assume you mean you're seeing the
"missing image" red "x" indicating a broken/missing link to the image
file(s)?

Although you say the site's not published, there's a limit to the advice we
can give without seeing the page(s). If you possibly can (even
temporarily) publish a page or the site that's giving you trouble I'm sure
we can give a lot more assistance.

One last check - if you go to the Code/HTML view, check to see if the <img
src> tags are like:

<img src="file://c:\my documents\my webs\web1\images\pic.jpg"> (absolute
URL)

or

<img src= "../web1/images/pic.jpg"> (relative URL)

Check that the file paths to the images are correct. If not, correct the
paths, or move the image files to the folder indicated by the <img> tag.
Generally it would be a good idea to separate the types of files e.g. put
pictures/images in an "images" folder, but I will assume you do this
already.

Please post back once you have gone through the above. These pointers are
the only things I can think of that are causing the problem. Please note
that FP doesn't support the raw PSD Photoshop files if you'd tried to insert
those; but I think FP would soon tell you that *.psd was not a supported
file format.

Andrew,
I have successfully completed steps 1 - 4

The image is blank but NOT with the red X. it is an irritating little 16x16
icon that has a red square, a blue triangle and a green circle.

when I click preview it looks fine, it is only when I test the preview in
different browsers that I have the problem.

still unable to get this site published yet.

thanks!
 
Hi Tina

here is the code for the image that I created
<img src="images/bdog2.jpg" width="76" height="100" align="left"
style="margin:3px 16px 0px 0px ">

and here is the code for the image that came with the template
<img src="images/pic8.jpg" width="76" height="100" align="left"
style="margin:3px 16px 0px 0px ">

it looks the same to me?!?!

thanks, sherri
 
Is the image named "bdog2.jpg" located in your images folder
