My guess:
if you get a red X then you might have the file paths inserted incorrectly... check the names and the directories.

First off, never post your site's url in this forum. It's against the terms of service.

Secondly, you should never build a site with Microsoft Word. That's even worse than using ForntPage. Your site is very simple. Try learning some basic html and make the page yourself using notepad.

Lastly, your problem is that it's looking for some .png images that are not in the ..._files folder.

I'm not familiar with using Word to "author" web pages, nor the Terrapin program you mention. However, images always need to be uploaded in BINARY (not ASCII or plain-text) format. You mention some images display OK, so this may not be your problem, but it's worth double-checking as you try to track down the issue.

Second thing to check, as has already been mentioned, are that your file paths are correct.

I'm moving this thread from HTML and Browsers over to the New To Web Devlopment. Seems we've had some intense repsonse over in Browsers to someone who basically just wants to learn the ropes.

Here's my 2 cents:

FrontPage is not on topic for this thread -- in fact, the whole FrontPage "issue" has been quite over-discussed here. Anyone who learns HTML can make good use of FrontPage and stay out of trouble.

But, you've got to learn HTML first. You've just got to know something about what goes on under the hood if you want to drive safely.

Word is another story. Word was not created to be an HTML authoring tool and the HTML funtioinality that's been tacked on creates the most dreadful, bloated code you can imagine. I've seen HTML generated by Word that takes more than a minute to load LOCALLY ON A PENTIUM IV!

The red X's -- well you've got the good advice above. And don't feel bad, I usually see red X's at least once during the development of any site.

I apologize if you took my post as "intense". I guess it can be read in both an intense manner and a nice one. I meane it as the latter.

Thanx....
Ok...So after your fantastic advice in not using flipping WORD to make my web page, i have started using DreamWeaver MX2004.... Much better, but as a complete Newbie, the pictures still aint appearing...Even a template i downloaded, only half the site appears....

Is there a way in dreamweaver to check the FileName Paths? so my pics can appear?

It all looks brilliant in Dreamweaver, even when i preview it in DW. Its just the min it gets uploaded....
BANG! Half the page is missing?

This has happened uploading to 2 different servers!

HELP HELP HELP!

In easy newby language please!

If you have uploaded the images to the same directory/folder name and path that is on your system locally they should work. If not try uploading and supplying the full path (ht*p://www.yoursite/directory/filename.gif)in your HTML code.

The only other thing to check is make sure in your HTML code you do not have "CAPS" for the filename or extension (unless that is the name of the image file).

I have seen problems on servers when the uploaded filename is yourimage.gif, but the HTML is looking for yourimage.GIF ;)

Welcome mxmaster

I'm in plain DW MX so it may be a little different:

Open your page
Choose, 'View', 'Code and Design'
Single left-click on the suspect image, then look at the path in the code panel. What does it say?

If it says something like:
<img src="file://C:\wwwroot\Inetpub...">
that's wrong & why you're seeing the images fines locally. It should read something like:

<img src="../assets/myimage.gif">
or
<img src="/assets/myimage.gif">
or
<img src="assets/myimage.gif">
or (works every time)
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/assets/myimage.gif">
