Pictures and graphics visible in 'web site preview' but not on web

[windward partners]

Using Publisher 2003, I can see all graphics and pictures (all embedded) in
'Web Site Preview' but when I publish to web (yes, including the subfolder
index_files) I can see only picture placeholders. Site address
www.windwardpartners.net. I have gone through all earlier suggestions re
Publisher view settings, updating video/graphics driver, etc. Any
suggestions will be welcomed!

Your pictures are there and they are VERY LARGE slow loading

Have you tried compressing the images?

Spike

 

[windward partners]

interesting - I didn't realize you could get at the individual images. I
will go and compress them now.

 

[Spike]

Not sure where the compression tool is in 2003, in 2007 it is on the
picture tool bar

Does not seem to work at all well in Firefox.

I get nothing in FireFox 3. I think that is because the site is framed. Look
at the source code.

Not much the OP can do about it as long as they aren't willing to pay for
hosting. Nor will the site be indexed. Personally I can't understand why a
business would make such a decision, while trying to save $5 a month.

Actually there was something OP could do about it... problem was with
'Protected Mode'. And thanks, Spike, compressing the pictures helped a great
deal.

 

[DavidF]

Please educate me about protected mode. I am trying to view the site with FF
3.0.4 and nothing is visible. How do I change the settings to see your site
in FF? Thanks.

Can you see it using:
http://home.comcast.net/~windward.partners/
By passes the framing

Spike,

I still get a blank page in FF. However, the Publisher source code is
there...hummm.

Interestingly, if I use your link in IE6, then at least I can also see the
other pages in the site. However if I start with
http://www.windwardpartners.net/ and then try the links to the other pages,
then IE will not show the page content either. It appears that you must
start with an absolute link to the index.htm file.

I hope she/he comes back and explains what he/she meant by 'Protected Mode'.
I am wondering if this is related to using IE8 beta? Do you know?

DavidF

 

[Spike]

The only protected mode that I am familiar with is Vista IE 7

I am wondering also if the redirect that Comcast is doing along with the
frames has a bearing on it

David,
I see noithing on the first SCREEN using FF but if I scroll down there is
some text but no pictures.

[DavidF]

Ok, now I know what he was talking about. However, I don't think the
protected mode is the problem. The framing will affect the links, but it
appears that he will be ok if he uses the full path link to his site with
comcast part. That is not to say that he won't have other problems with the
framing, but...

As to the problem, I think I have a solution because of John G.'s
post...read below.

Thanks.

John G.,

Du'oh!!!! I didn't even notice the scroll bar, and yes I do see the text
after I scroll down. And that suggests the problem is that the OP needs to
uncheck "rely on VML..." under tools > Options > web tab and uncheck "Allow
PNG..." while he is at it. That is part of the reason his oversized,
non-compressed images were taking so long to load...

It has been so long since someone posted using Pub 2003 with this option
checked, that when I saw the framing I immediately jumped to the conclusion
that it was the framing. My bad.

Thanks for the assist. Now if the OP will just come back and see this...
