Hello, I am new to the list and I am having a problem. I am using Microsoft Office 2000 to create my htm webpages. I have uploaded all of the images and the background to my freepage account, but the images are not showing up on the webpage. I had microsoft office 97 before and had sucessfully learned how to change the raw HTML so that I could sucessfully add photos to my pages. I however do not understand the HTML coding in 2000. Does anyone use 2000 to create their pages at Rootsweb's Freepages? How are you getting your images to show up? I know that there is a problem with the HTML Code and that is what I need to fix.

Well, this might help somewhat - I occasionally use MS Office for one of my non-genealogy web sites, perhaps to get some document converted quick and easy. I choose to use MS Office 97 over MS Office 2000, because it generates simpler code and I can read it easily. MS Office 2000 generates more complicated code - uses styles sheets, sometimes "Frames", and so on, and doesn't always show up on other non-MS browsers. So if I don't want to code something directly, and want to generate simple code to deal with (which is most of the time), I stick with Office 97. I looked at your web site but your images are buried in that insane code, so beyond me. The usual problems with images are 1) names not spelled right /or right case and 2) not uploading as binary files. Good luck!

XML usually separates the SRC attribute from the IMG tag, so the easiest way to find the code you need to change is to open the XML in your text editor, and search for *src=*. The URL of the image will immediately follow the SRC tag. Pat Asher
