Upgraded to Frontpage 2003. Now folders and pictures appear missing. I see
them on the FTP site and on my desktop folder. They are there, but Frontpage
won't acknowlege that they are. Picture won't show once I publish the pages
where folders won't show.
 
Pretty scary stuff.

Sounds to me like you have a conspiracy going on somewhere. Someone is
conspiring to put image tags in your web pages that point to images that are
not in the location specified by the image tag's "src" attribute. I would
say more, but the last guy who did............. Oh no! Hey, if you don't
hear from me for a week, well, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Kevin is just having a funny moment. It is late at night (early morning) in
Virginia

What he is saying is that the tag tells the browser a place at which to find
the image, but that place does not exist

e.g. if I have an <img> tag
<img src="images/display/sitehome.gif"
alt=""
width="60"
height="40" />
the image "sitehome.gif" must exist in the current folder address in the
subfolder images/display.

If it does, your browser will display it. If it doesn't it displays a red
'X'
 
Start by removing all spaces from all file and folder names
- there is a tool that will do it for you at http://www.jimcosoftware.com/

Sorry, dude, Trevor was right. It was quite late last night, and I am going
away for a week, so I was having a funny moment.

Looks like my jocular remarks have been explained well, and I leave you with
my best wishes and in good hands with the likes of Trevor and Jens to help
you.

If I might leave you with a bit of helpful advice, use the "Split" view in
FrontPage to learn something about HTML. I will show you the HTML code as
well as (approximately) how it will look in a browser at the same time.
Looking at the FrontPage-generated HTML got me well on my way, some years
ago, using FrontPage 1.1. As a graphic designer, if you're work is
computer-oriented, this should be quite helpful in the future, as HTML
(Hypertext Markup Language) is the grandparent of XHTML (eXtensible
Hypertext Markup Language), which is the child of XML (eXtensible Markup
Language), which will become the parent of all interface design on Windows
and many other platforms. The next version of Windows, for example, will use
XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language), which is another descendant
of XML. All of these are derived from the great-grandparent, SGML
(Standardized Graphics Markup Language). So learning anything about any of
them helps you to understand something about all of them.
