jpg file will not display (load)

[dlincoff]

I'm developing a Website in Microsoft Publisher.
I am using a simple src command to display a few jpg files. All are
in the same folder and I have verified that the path is correct. All
were downloaded from same website to my computer. Some display and
others do not when I select "web Page Preview." However, these images
did display when I copied the address in the Run box (after selecting
start at bottom left corner.)

The only differences that I can see is size and 1 security item. The
security item: The two files that correctly display on my webpage
contain an "unblock" button on the general tab of properties. The .gif
files that won't display do not contain this "unblock" button.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Here are the lines of code in case you need them:

<img src="c:\button-r.gif">

<img src="c:\arrw05_46b.gif">
<p>
<img src="c:\bluebeano.gif">

you're storing your images in the root of C:\ and not a folder? - this is
generally not a good idea.

are your paths really correct? I would think you would store your web files
in a folder along with your mentioned images, in which case that would NOT
be floating around in the root directory.

I am not sure of what you are trying to do, but in a Publisher web you
generally don't handle pictures in the way you seem to be describing. You
can go to Insert > Picture and have several options, but generally choose
from file, browse to the file on your local computer to where the image is
stored. You have the option of embedding the image or linking the image, but
either way when you publish your web files, Publisher will then make one or
more copies of the original image for the web page.

You also can use a 'src command' that you insert into a Publisher page via
the code fragment tool, but then you would write the path to a folder on
your web host directory where you would upload the image...not your C drive.

I would suggest that you look at the subject of inserting pictures under
HELP in your version of Publisher and read about the subject, because it
doesn't sound like you understand the basics of how Publisher handles
pictures.

David & Rob,
I must have a glitch in preview mode because I was able to display all
images when I "published to web" on my hard drive.
Thanks for working on this.
p.s. how can I trigger an email when someone responds to my posts?

Glad it worked out.

I wouldn't hold my breath and hope that any of the forum features such as
emailing you will work. Just come back and check once a day until you get a
response.
