Images fail to appear...?

[djdefpoints]

Hello, mvp's

I'm having trouble with some animated .gif's and images on my site, built
with Publisher 2003. When I insert them into the master page, they work
fine, but when I try to insert them into subsequent pages, they simply don't
appear. SOME images appear fine on the pages, and I can't find a common
denomenator. When I use the "change image" command on an image that loads
fine, the new image shows up. Only when I add the image does it fail to
appear in the web preview. Note: it isn't a draw-order problem, tried that.

Thanks for your time.

First thing to do is to remove the master page from the web publication.
Master page is for print publications.
Trying to use it for a web publication will have buggy results.

Thanks for your help, David.

OK, I deleted the master page, and set both of my current pages to ignore
the master. (Program has to have at least one master page, can't delete
it.) Copy-clipped the images from the master to the individual pages, they
are currently listed as "embedded". Same issue: nothing showing up in the
web preview. Checked the source code for the web preview: the items are
listed. (I don't know enough HTML to make much sense of it, but I do see the
missing items in the code.) It seems that both text, word-art, and image
files are affected: anything I try to add will not appear, no "red x,"
nothing, in the web preview. Tried: reloading the items, linking rather than
embedding, moving around, checking the draw order, adding a completely
different image from another source...still, I get nothing but the images
loaded into the page previously. Anything new I add, no show in the preview.
Ack!

Wait...ok, I solved the problem, but I don't understand why. I had an HTML
fragment that changed the style of the underline and color of hypertext:

<style>
a{text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {text-decoration: underline;}
a:hover {color: #FFCC33;}
<style>

I moved it from the bottom of the page to the top...and suddenly, the images
etc load in the preview. I don't know why, but that's the story. Might be
useful to others to know this little issue?

nope...I posted to soon. It seems that when the HTML fragment listed below
is anywhere in my page, I can't load any new text boxes, images, or word-art.
This is really strange. (The code works as intended, by the way.) At least
I know where the problem is, and how to work around it.

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your code fragment. It worked
fine when I tried it, and it shouldn't have anything to do with your
problem.

I would suspect that using the master page(s) has messed things up. Perhaps
open a second instance of Publisher and new blank page(s), and copy and
paste your design elements from your original.

I tried creating a brand new blank document and copy-clipped all of the items
in my document, as you suggested, without a master page. Sure enough: when
the HTML fragment is not in the new document, I can load new text/images and
they appear in the preview. When it's in the document, I can't. This is
really bizarre. (By the way, I installed the Office 2003 updates from the
Microsoft site just last week.)

Well, so much for that idea. Have you run the design checker under tools to
see if perhaps there is something else going on? You aren't overlapping the
fragment box with anything are you?

I am not sure what to tell you. Perhaps David Bartosik or someone else will
read this and have another idea. Sorry.

I ran the Design checker, all it gave me were "picture has no alternative
text", which can't be the culprit - the text boxes fail too. I've positioned
the fragment all over the page, without changing this behavior. Stumper,
isn't it. But I certainly appreciate your help, DavidF.
