pics for hyperlinks?

[Mommio2]

Hi,
I have a few beginner questions, please.
Can you use pictures for hyperlinks? When I was setting up my page,
it seemed to be fine when I designated the pictures as hyperlinks. I also
set the text below each pic as a hyperlink. Now that my page is finished,
the text links work, but the picture links do not. What gives?
Also, just wondering why the animated gif picture I put on it shows up
as moving on some computers, but there is no animation on mine? All
computers I have tried are running IE6.
Lastly, why does my web page show up as spaced correctly on some IE6
computers, but it looks "squished up" on others also running IE6?
Thanks for your help! I just began using Frontpage this week, and I am
very anxious to finish our school's web page.

Yes... click on the picture... right click and select hyperlink and have at
it.

When you say finished.... did you publish it to your hosting company via FP?
If so, have you tried editing it "live" on the server?

Also, just wondering why the animated gif picture I put on it shows up
as moving on some computers, but there is no animation on mine? All

There is a setting in IE 6 to turn on animations.... it might be that your
IE 6 does not have that setting turned on. (?)

Lastly, why does my web page show up as spaced correctly on some IE6
computers, but it looks "squished up" on others also running IE6?

Perhaps not an IE6 issue verses a difference in monitors issue. (?)

Best to you.....

You know, I did that, and it looked like it worked, but when I opened it in
IE and tried it, none of the picture hyperlinks worked. Any ideas? Thanks!

You can also create a hotspot on a picture and use it to link to a page.
After inserting the picture, select it by clicking on it. This should enable
the picture tool bar. You can then draw a hyperlink.
Good Luck

Thanks, everyone! I can't wait to try it again, but I only have FrontPage
at school, so I can't do it until Friday. Appreciate your help!
