Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would know why my jpeg's and backgrounds (also jpeg's) show in ie, but not in Firefox or Safari?
I designed the pages with NVU, and they can be seen at http://upcsevier.org |

You'll want to upload the images to your web host and change the URLs that point to the images. Right now you have image paths that look like so...
file:///C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/photos/My%20Pictures/Kodak%20Pictures/web/backgrounds/Greystoke.jpg
That's not going to work when your website is posted at http://upcsevier.org/.
Upload the images to upcsevier.org and if you want to keep it clean and uncluttered you can put the images into a directory (let's say "images"). Then your URLs can looks like "images/Greystoke.jpg" or even "http://upcsevier.org/images/Greystoke.jpg". |

Thanks, ya'll
I have tried that and have most of the graphics doing ok now
on my links page, however, the graphics at the top are animated GIF files, and the only way they will chow up is if I leave them unrelated to the URL...then they will show in internet explorer, but not in firefox or safari
it's at http://upcsevier.org/links
Any ideas?!?
thanks,
Jeremy .........PS Hi, Eric  |

That page still has the images looking for the file on your computer. They'll need to be uploaded and then changed like the other ones were.
So this needs to be changed...
| Code: | | <img style="width: 204px; height: 50px;" alt="" src="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/photos/My%20Pictures/Kodak%20Pictures/web/CHAIN.gif"> |
Basically the file:/// part there means the HTML page is looking for the file where it was on your computer. But since the HTML page is now on the server it can't access your computer anymore.
The reason you may see the broken image box in IE and not in Firefox is that Firefox for some reason doesn't show the broken image box all the time (not sure why). Safari may be the same.... |

| if the server is unix based then everything after "http://upcsevier.org" is case-sensitive. |
