Images Not Showing on Web

[Nick]

I have a website that I have created using Publisher 2003. Performing web
page previews in Publisher works well. Everything shows up. But when I
publish to the web using my ftp provider (cuteFTP), all links appear except
for HTML fragments. The fragments appear on the web preview in Publisher, but
not on the web. I have perused all documentation everywhere, and I am yet to
find out what the problem is. This only happens for fragments that are
pictures and not fragements that have only text in them. Can someone help me
out here. I am going crazy trying to get these up and running. I want to use
both images and text in HTML fragment code.

Appreciate your assistance....anyone?

Thanks,
Nick

Sounds like you either wrote the link incorrectly, or you didn't upload the
images to your site. Post back the code snippet you inserted. Or go to
microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign and read the thread: "Updating page at
a time" 6/20.

David,

The image source is at a partner's site. Here is what I put in the fragment
editor:


<a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2054722-10427302" target="_blank" >
<img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2054722-10427302" width="120"
height="60" alt="Shop at Cooking.com!" border="0"></a>

I only copied and pasted it into the frag editor, and then tested the web
page publication through preview. Works in preview but not via host site.

Hear from you soon.

Nick,

I am not sure what is wrong. The code snippet works for me, both preview and
after uploading. Perhaps it is some security setting in your browser, AV
or... that prevents the image from loading? Are you waiting long enough for
the image to download? Do you see the Alt tag text of "shop at cooking.com"?
Have you tried viewing the page from a different computer? What is the URL
of the page where you inserted this code fragment?

I suppose you could try capturing the image, uploading it to a subfolder,
perhaps "images", on your site, and rewriting the link to the image file on
your site. That would at least workaround any setting that is preventing
importing it from another site??

It works for me too, but that snippet isn't correct. You can't have
extra < and > marks in ONE phrase. Or are those supposed to be two
separate links?

If the images belong to your partner, it would be easier for you to copy
them and put them in your own directory.

Nick,

I published it (in a different program) and it worked.

Nick,

I came back to look at this again and your link to the image looked strange
to me. When I click on:
http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2054722-10427302 which is supposed to be your
image source, it takes me to:
http://www.yceml.net/0934/10427302-4.gif

Either capture that image, upload it to your site in a subfolder, and direct
your link to it, or perhaps try this snippet:

<a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2054722-10427302" target="_blank" >
<img src="http://www.yceml.net/0934/10427302-4.gif" width="120"
height="60" alt="Shop at Cooking.com!" border="0"></a>

I am guessing that there is some redirection to access your image, and
though I was able to make your code work, as were others in this NG, this
might be what is causing your problem???

Let us know what you figure out.

David,

I did what you suggested, and saved the image to my directory. I inserted
the picture into the index page, put a hyperlink to the site it should take
the user to, and then saved and published the file. I then uploaded the
respective index page and image to the right directories. I opened my site,
and I get all my original images and now the new image that is below looks
like it is loading, but now shows as a red cross. Here is the link to my home
page for you to view to see if you can view the image at the bottom of the
page. It should be the image we have been working on.

I also review my browser settings, and they look ok. Let me know how you
fair. Thanks again for your help.

I also forgot to add....do I need to put the .pub file onto the host server
too? I assume you don't, but I am trying to think of everything. I have also
waited for the images to download....I have cable broadband and most things
load very quickly.

Regards,
Nick

 

[Nick]

Well, I have had workaround success. I reloaded the entire website to my host
and reloaded the home page, and presto....the image of cooking.com showed up.
So I will do what you suggest below.

If you guys have any other tips for me to be able to use the code provided
by my partners so they will apear automatically so I do not have to remember
to review the site all the time, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks for
your help.

Regards,
Nick

Some of the pics I have had success with are only static and they do not
contain movement as they do when I view them from the partner's site. Any
ideas as to how I can still achieve movement of the picture using your method
below David?

Regards,
Nick

Some host block hotlinking...aka bandwidth theft.
The redirect is interesting as well.

Nick,

You have some fundamental problems with your site that need to be fixed
before you worry any more about anything else....and are probably creating
most of your issues.

First, it appears that you are doing a Save As a Webpage which produces
bloated, unfiltered HTML output. You want filtered output and get that by
doing a Publish to the Web instead.

But before you are ready to do that go to Tools > Options > Web tab and
uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG...".

You can at least temporarily put the original code snippet back into your
Publisher document. If it doesn't work after making these fundamental
changes to your site, you can then make the changes I recommended before.

Then compress all your images, what there are on your site: "Compress
graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011266301033.aspx

Then under Tools run Design Checker and fix all the other issues that it
finds.

Then, maybe, you will be ready to upload new files, so go to your host and
delete all the old files, and Publish to The Web.

Good luck...and in the future, you should probably post your Publisher web
questions on microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign.
