I was wondering if anybody knows what settings i must change in fronbtapge
so that when i save the page front page will not shorten the picture address
of my pictures , when i save my pages now frontpage saves the html code like
this ../images/image1.jpg
i would like for it to display the whole address
http://www.website.com/images/image1.jpg, its really annoying to type it over
and over again everytime i need to reuse the page, open to suggestions. thanx

That relative address will be resolved after you Publish .

If you want FP to use the Absolute URL, then you must upload the image to the live/remote site and
then in FP, link to the image directly on the remote server, then when you save the page, do not let
FP save the image. Thereafter if you make any change to the image (rename, move, delete) on the
remote server, you will have to manually update all links in your pages to the image.

Can you explain why you want the full address instead of the relative URL?
Relative URLs are a real plus in that they reduce link management if you
change folders around, move files, etc. Generally, these are the preferred
types of links to use, regardless of whether you are building your site in
FrontPage, or by hand in Notepad, or any other program.

If we can get a idea of what you're trying to achieve, we may be able to
recommend a better solution for you.

I know what you are saying and its true that the relative address is a major
plus, however i have set up a general template for the way my website looks
and sometimes i use that template to upload listings to ebay by editing them
in fp and the copying the html and pasting it on ebay, the problem is that
after i save a page i loose all the full url address for the pictures and
images in the template because otherwise the html code doesnt come out
correctly, so i was wondering if there is a setting in front page that will
always show the full absolute address as aposed to the shortone, maybe this
will help you help me, anyway i appreciate your efforts, if you do have an
answer for me you could just email me directly, THANX A BUNCH,

PS i am a novice at all this fp html stuff fo far i found that fp suites my
purpose and its relatily easy for me to use but if you think any other
program will be easy for me to use for ebay listing templates and design
please infrom me as well. TY

No, there are no settings. However to workaround this, make sure all content is on the live/remote
server, then create you links, FP will prompt you to save embedded image, reply to not save, but
keep the link, this will keep the link as a Absolute URL.

What I have done in the past is make the template, and copy the code and
save it in a notepad txt file. Then, I just edit what I need before copying
the txt file to ebay.
