Website uploading problem with graphics... Help...

Hi

I am redoing my website, and am using Frontpage (I know...) I havent got time to learn HTML, so am just doing what I can... So I am adapting a template which I downloaded and all is good apart from the fact that certain graphics are not showing when uploaded... - eg the header, the menu buttons etc.. everything else is fine but that... any idea why?
All template graphics were in the image folder, but i also copied them to the main folder and still no joy... any idea? I ve uploaded the whole folder via ftp and not sure where i am going wrong? please help... if you can pls pm me and will send you the url. thanks

    frontpage has a habit of leaving Graphics with a path of eg:-

    C:\website\image\picture.bmp

    you need to edit out the path before you upload

    Yep. There are no calls in the uploaded HTML code for these graphics files.

    yes, go into html mode , look for the picture name in the lines of HTML and make sure that it does not say c:\ etc , just mypicture.bmp with no path

    Search for instances of image tags (coded with <img>).

    alirob - what's the file extension of your Header graphics file? Is it .jpg or .bmp or what?
