Publishing a web - can't find images.

[John]

I have 2 web sites that I have published. One worked, but
is quite small (6 pages) the other is quite large with a
number of folders and folders under folders. I published
from 2 computers and I worked on the complex site on my
home computer so 'published' it to a diskette as that was
much faster.

Frontpage has published to the server with a hyperlink to
the C drive and, it can't find my images. Most pages have
a number of images so I have them in separate folders
under the 'image' folder on the root directory. It
appears FP goes down from the root directory to
subdirectories, but not over to another subdirectory. Back
to the root and down again. Could this be because I
published to a diskette?

Interestingly my good web shows the URL ending
in ".../index.htm" for the homepage, but this is not the
case with the other although the page does appear. It
just ends in '...path/' These are not published on a
specific domain, but rather disk space my ISP gives out as
part of their package which is great as you can check for
errors before turning it loose.

Does anybody have any ideas? The site works great in FP
even in 'Preview in Browser' mode. Another issue is that
the 'theme' background colour comes out much darker when
published - annoying, but minor.

Thanks.

1. Make sure you are always opening a web first (File Menu | Open Web)
2. That all content is either created in or imported into the current open
FP web prior to using.
3. Always publish between locations (machines), like publish to the live
server then go to the other machine and publish down. Requires that the
remote server have the FP extensions.
