PS
The other real problem you have that will always cause you link problems is the use of spaces in your file and folder names as in
Rental Properties which becomes Rental%20Properties
Remove the spaces (RentalProperties) or Change the spaces to under_scores (Rental_Properties)

| Hi Carol,
|
| The photos are good but as Tom said they really need optimizing (ie reducing
| download time) the main photo for 812 Madison weighs in at 133k, you should
| be able to get it down to a fifth of that without losing quality.
|
| For the buttons, FP is looking for the mouseover images in the wrong place,
| eg this one
| <img border="0" id="img1" src="../../Button_Header_Home3.jpg" height="33"
| width="100" alt="Home"
| onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'../Button_Header_Home1.jpg')"
| onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'../Button_Header_Home3.jpg')"
|
| This means that FP looks for home3.jpg in the root (where it is) but then
| looks for home1.jpg in
|
http://www.countrymanorbuilders.com/Hinsdale/812 Madison/
|
| Where it isn't
| i'd go for a strcture like this
| root/
| /common files
| /images
| /home1
| /images
| /home2
| /images
|
| Basically you want to seperate out the files such as your home page, about
| us page, menu etc and their images from the files and images that relate to
| each individual home.
|
| For the rest of the site I'd suggest working on the look of your pages, 812
| is obviously a nice house but the page just does not say $1.2m to me. I
| think getting a nicer font, say Georgia or Trebuchet MS, putting a dark
| grey border round the photos and aligning the text with the top of the
| photos would make a big difference. People that are in a position to spend
| $1m on their home are used to seeing quality. Also this line
| "The step saving, full service laundry room is conveniently located on the
| second floor near the clothes"
| Doesnt seem to make sense - unless I'm missing something. You've got a
| quality product there but it needs conveying properly
