Help needed for Web Page design

glen
have you checked that the host of your web page excepts front page extention not all do & this can course you problems

Glenn,

is it one of the default backgrounds that comes with Front Page? If so, you will need to track down the location of the image file for the background (usually a *.gif or *.jpg file). You will then need to upload this to your ISP. However, you have to make sure that the path to the file is correct on your web page.

For example, when you create a new "Web" in frontpage, it goes and creates a directory structure and dumps some files in these directories. Somewhere in here is where the background picture is (usually). You web page will be pointing to this location for the file and Front Page, being like it is, is expecting the directory structure to be mirrored on your ISP. If it is not, you will have to edit your web page to tell it to point to the correct directory on your ISP. Most ISP's dont support Front Page Extensions, but you should have no problems uploading the directory structure and have it work.

So my advice would be, that what ever directory structure you are using on your home computer to put the web site together, mirror that on you ISP account aswell(making sure that your match the case aswell, as ISP's run on systems that are case sensitive - my advice here would be to make sure its all in lowercase).

Hope this helps

cheers,
Sam.

As others have said you need to have that file on the server.. Personally I dispise Front page, its not as easy as it could be..

And the HELP file is about as useful as elephant balls on a mozzie.

Check that the URL of the image is pointing to the same on the server.
so if your code says

BODY BACKGROUND="images/star.jpg"

make sure you have the image "star.jpg" in the folder "images" on the server.. this is a common fault people go with.

Thankyou all for your assistance. I have it working now. The html was looking in the wrong place.
