I have been having trouble with hidden references in
FrontPage. I.E., in FP an image will appear in HTML
as "image/something.gif" but will not show up in preview
or on Explorer. However, when I open the HTML file in
Wordpad it will display
as "C:\directory/image/something.gif", where it is on the
drive. The "C:\directory" part shows up in Wordpad but
not in the FP HTML tab.
My question is: why isn't the HTML text I see in Wordpad
what I see in FP? I have to open all my files in Wordpad
and correct them, not difficult but an annoying extra
step. Why does FP hide part of the HTML?
Is that Gates guy giving me a hard time or am I missing
something?

For disc based webs the path "image/something.gif" is illegal

For a top level page (in your root) it should be "images\something.gif" where images is your image folder where the image
something.gif is located
If you have create a folder "image" in the root, it would be "image\something.gif"

To find the correct path in your site right click the image, and browse (w/i your site) to the folder w/ the image to select it, or
just drag your image from Folder List to your page
