Images from local to the web

[RBirney]

I know this question has probably been asked many times but how do you stop
your published website looking for images on your local hard drive? I am
doing it manually (i.e. changing the paths by hand) but it is not the best
way i am sure and for the link bars i get no button images because i cannot
change the paths of the themes that it want to use.

Make sure you're working with your web site opened - Open FP, File | Open
Site...blah blah.
Import your images into your FP web site first - File | Import...then place
your images into your layout from a folder within your web site.

I imported a bmp ino the website (it went in the images folder) but it still
doesn't show. If i look at the HTML code it still has a path on the local
drive.

..bmp files are not meant for the web. Save it as a .gif or .jpg, import it
into your web, change the reference and republish.

Put in a gif instead, it still doesn't show and path in html is still the
local drive.

Delete the image from the page.
Save the page.
Reinsert the image, but do not browse outside of your web when selecting it.

Open page in FP. Insert photo "from file" and browse your hd to select image.
Photo (.jpg or .gif) will appear in your page. Save page and a popup window
will ask you to select where to save - choose "image" directory within your
web site. When you publish your site from your hd to your Internet location,
the photo and its internal link location will transfer to the internet.

Broomstreet's recommendation is NOT the recommended process as it will
degrade quality of the the images, particularly jpg files.

Open your WEB in FrontPage first.

Then open your "images" folder in the web, and click FILE | IMPORT .
Now browse to the images on your hard drive and select the ones you want
in your web. Click OK.

Now open the pages where you want the images to appear, and for each
image, select "insert image" Browse to the images folder and select the
file you just imported. That will ensure the image is not degraded, and
that the URL will point to the copy of the image that is in your web.
(i.e. a relative URL, not an absolute URL Pointing to your hard drive.)

One all pages have the images inserted in that manner, THEN and only
then, publish the web to the server.

Broomstreets recommendation is wrong, but only because the images are not
being imported into the opened web.

The .jpg images will degrade - initially the images will be copied into
the FrontPage temporary folder from their original location, then when
the page is saved the images will be saved as well - the save process
also adds a further 10% compression to .jpg images, hence the
degradation. Images imported (or dragged and dropped through Windows
explorer) into the open website are NOT saved by FrontPage, and are not
degraded.
