I'm having trouble getting a simple image file to display on my webpage. "bannercopy.gif" is in the same folder as the .html file. It appears when I preview it in FrontPage but does not display when I run it from the web.

And other images appear with no problem.


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <table border="0" width="100%" id="table141" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  2.                         <tr>
  3.                             <td valign="top" style="padding-bottom: 15px">
  4.                             <p align="center">
  5.                             <img border="0" src="bannercopy.gif" width="456" height="144"></p>
  6.                             <p align="center">
  7.                             </p>
  8.                             <p align="center">
  9.                             </p>
  10.                             </td>
  11.                         </tr>
  12.                     </table>
  13.

I am certain it's both in the same folder and on the server.

The server is probably case sensitive. Make sure you have the casing right.
Also, is the image ACTUALLY a gif file? If it's not and you changed the extension, some browsers might refuse to display it since the content-type won't match the internal image type.

I would bet that FrontPage injected the src as something like "c:\bannercopy.gif" which won't be found on the server.

I personally dislike both FrontPage and DreamWeaver(and the adobe one, although I think they merged yes?) I feel they write sloppy/poor code. Doing things like adding that absolute path c:\
