JPG & GIF Don't Appear in Preview

I'm using FP 2003 and the box with the red "X' inside appears instead of my
pictures when I preview. My site is not yet published.

I've searched the knowledge base and tried the resolution (changing file
association & repairing FP through Control Panel), but they don't work. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled FP, but that hasn't worked either.

I've searched here and tried importing the JPG into FP before inserting it,
but that didn't help either.

The GIF is FP's own, created when I used Cell Corners and Shadows from
within Cell Formatting.

Please help! I'm at a lost as to what to try next.

Thanks,

Kathy
 
Kathy,
If you are saying that the pic doesn't show when you preview in FP,
you need to copy the pic to a file under your web, either to "images"
or "components", then when you insert it into the cell, right click on
the pic, go to picture properties, then the "general" tab, then
"browse" for the pic in the file you put it under, click on the pic,
click "open"...it will then show up when you preview...I'm no techie by
any means, just learned the hard way!....Ken
 
FrontPage creates HTML files in web sites, or stand-alone HTML documents.
HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language," and is a text markup language
that tells a browser how to format a document. An HTML document doesn't have
pictures in it, because it's text. Instead, it has image tags (HTML
elements) that contain, among other things, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
address where the image file can be found and downloaded.

Since an HTML document can be read by a browser either from a local file
location or as a URL in a web site, FrontPage can create image tags that
point to file locations and to HTTP URLs on web sites. How does it know what
the relative location of the image is to the document? By context. If you do
not open a web site prior to editing any pages in it, FrontPage has no way
to know whether or not that HTML document belongs to a web site or not. It
is just a file on the disk. So, FrontPage makes the image tags link to file
locations relative to the file location of the HTML document you edit. When
you open a web first, FrontPage knows that you're working on a page in the
web, and it creates the image tag pointing to a location in that web.

Kevin,
Would there be any way to preview a Google map that I'm working on
without first publishing it to my web site...I get a preview but I
can't see the map...I'd really like to see my changes before I
publish...is there any way, maybe through a "href" or
something?....Thanks,
Ken
 
You'd have to ask Google, or someone that knows how those maps are included
in web pages. I don't know.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it and I still get the red "X". But,
thanks again.

Kathy
 
Did you import the image into your current open FP web / site prior to inserting/linking to them on
your pages?

Also with JPG images, make sure that they were save in RGB color format, not CYMK format.

How are you working on a Google map?

Hi Kevin,

I kind of understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure how to apply it.
If I understand you correctly, I always work from within FP when I edit my
web pages. And when I imported the pictures, I saved the page and FP asked
if I wanted it to save the photo and I replied yes. I can see the photo file
names listed within the website.

I tried Ken's response and that didn't help either.

I don't know if what I've included above will help clarify my problem or
not. I hope so. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I can correct
it.

Thanks,

Kathy
 
Hi Thomas,

Yeah, I imported the JPG into my images file, then inserted it into a new
page, saved it and tried to preview it. Still the red X. And I made sure it
was RGB and not CYMK.

Thanks,

Kathy
 
When you imported the pictures into your web site, did you import them into
a folder in the web site *before* inserting them on the page and saving?

How are you (steps) opening the site to work in it in FP and then importing the images?

I went to File, Import and imported the JPG into the Images folder. I opened
a new page and clicked Insert, Picture, From File and then to Images folder
and choose it.

Oh, when I open FP, my site is the default site, so it just opens up.

Thanks again,

Kathy
 
Hi Tom,

Yes, I did. I went to File, Import and placed the picture in my Images
folder. Then I went to Insert, Picture, From File and choose it from the
Images folder.

Thanks,

Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Do you have a URL we could look at? If not, can you post the HTML of the
page you're working on?
