FTP images..help!

Hi guys,

I've created a webpage and saved it as an HTML file and it all looks good. The thing is when I then FTP it to my webspace the image disappears:confused: with just the outline of the image showing.

Surely when its showing up ok in the original html document it should still be there once that doc is FTPed? Any ideas?

thanks

    the link on the page shows

    [URL="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cowner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image003.jpg"]file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cowner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image003.jpg[/URL]

    you need to edit it to just be [URL="file:///clip_image003.jpg"]file:///clip_image003.jpg[/URL] (it is looking for the picture on your hard disk , that is the problem)

    same for any of the pictures you upload, you need to edit the properties of the photo

    did you do this with Word ??

    Not at all relevant but I like the Galileo quote at the end of the page.

    might be better to work on it in this free package

    www.nvu.com

    Word produces a lot of crap, can see a HTML error chucking up some html text

    mmm still pretty lost. When I change the code as suggested in my html editor the image then disappears from the actual html page before I even upload it.

    I have the image with the text box on my word doc, but don't even know if I can save the whole thing as a complete jpg image!?

    Its a clipart from word, but I don't know how to save it as a jpeg on its own so that it can be located on my hard drive:confused:

    PS - I'm already using the NUV html free editor

    you need to edit the page as HTML

    then search for the graphic you are trying to edit

    I suspect you will need to source free clipart
