Images

I had the same trouble, I got my head around dreamweaver, and found that to be so much better than frontpage.

Have you tried this.
FTP the image to the acatalog folder, and then going back to frontpage, where is asks for the source of the image put some thing like www.yourdomain.co.uk/acatalog/imagename.gif

You will find that when you are in frontpage, it will not be able to show you the image, because it can't find the local source, but when you view the page on the internet, it will be able to find the source for the picture.

Hope this helps.

&lt;td&gt;NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT&lt;/td&gt;<br>
&lt;/tr&gt;</td>

<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="../../My%20Pictures/150x150/circular3.jpg" width="150" height="150"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="../../My%20Pictures/150x150planerblades/planerblades150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150"></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFF00">
<p align="center"><i><b><font size="7" color="#FFFFFF">Yes its working</font></b></i></td>
</tr>
</table>

and images dont display

<img border="0" src="../../My%20Pictures/150x150/circular3.jpg" width="150"

If you right click the where the image should be on your website, you will see that it is looking for the source as above locally on your computer.

You need to change the source to where the image is stored ie where you uploaded it to.

Hope it helps.

thanks

But wont this mean i wont be able to view my images off line i need to put them where actinic can see them off line and i can find out how to reference them by getting a look at what actinic is seing..

I don't know about frontpage, but in dreamweaver, (I think it is the same) once you have visited the site live with your pictures showing the correct source location, you will be able to see them when you preview your page offline, (say after you have been working on your page) as the pictures will be in your temp internet files.

You wont be able to see them while you are working, only when you just preview the site.

thanks again jon

i will give it a wirl in the morning, am beat now we'll get there in the end though finding this site im sure is going to be a huge help...bye!

The images are best kept in the root of the Site1 folder and if you are creating your own table and links to images you will need to place a copy in the PreviewHTML folder so actinic can preview them offline.

Depending on how and where you are placing the images you may need to add the images into the "additional files" list so these are uploaded during a site refresh... although by the sounds of it this may not be necessary.

Keeping the images in the Site1 folder will also stop Actinic displaying the error warning at upload time if you have images linked to c:\my_pictures or http://www.site etc

You should also be using alt="picture description" in the <img> tag to help with SEO and screen readers.

Are the images uploaded if they are put in the SITE1 root folder?

Is everything in the SITE1 Folder upload? if not what is uploaded each time you update your site??

Hi,

IF you are using images refrenced in Actinic and the images are available in the Site1 folder, then they will be uploaded. Not all contents of the site1 folder are uploaded to the server, as long as they are required and are refrence within the UI then they will be uploaded, for example, the DataBase which resided in the site1 folder is never uploaded to the server, neither are the folders like Common, CommonOCC etc, but certain contents of these files are.

With each upload only the recent changes made to the site are uploaded to the server.

Kind regards,
