I have created my first website using frontpage 2000 and uploaded to my tiscali personal webspace via the WS_FTP program.

I have inserted both a jpeg image and a clipart image to my webpage and these can be seen in preview in frontpage. When i check in my browser however - there is no image just an empty box with a little red cross in the corner (which does nothing when you click on it!).

I have checked my internet settings and can see images from other peoples websites so I don't know what else to check?

Tiscali have a policy of not supporting extensions in front page so is the use of a .jpeg or clip art classed as an extension? This would then explain the problem and a move to a professional host site would then be my next move.

Sounds like maybe you forgot to upload the image file to the webserver. The server has to have the file to display it. Make sure you edit your html to point to the location on the server.

I had not uploaded the image file to the websserver!! I need to find a simple guide to using the WS_FTP program i think.

You may not have the 'actual' path to the image in the page code. (FP allows preview without full path), in which case, you most likely have the jpeg uploaded to the wrong folder.

Right click on the EMPTY square with the red X and select properties. This will show the EXPECTED path to the jpeg, ensure it is uploaded to the right folder on the server.

This is easily confused due to the WS_FTP Folder views, you need to ensure that the 'folder level' is correct.
