    Uploading problems

    Hi, I look after the web pages for a non profit group. I have made changes before with out any problems. I am trying to replace a picture ( which I replaced last year) but this time it refuses to change. I use Microsoft Frontpage.When I change the picture I get this (THIS PICTURE WAS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED FROM VECTOR MARKUP LANGUAGE DATA STORED ELSEWHERE IN THE PAGE. CHANGES TO THIS PICTURE MAY BE LOST IF THE PAGE IS OPENED AGAIN USING THE APPLICATION THAT ORIGINALLY GENERATED THE PAGE. ALSO CHANGES MAY NOT BE VISIBLE IN BROWSERS THAT SUPPORT VML.) Any idea what this means. Im urgent to replace this picture. Help I also have had problems when I upload it does not show up on the site when I go there.

    Hmm.. are you sure you are using a valid web format for the image, like JPG or GIF? VML is a web standard that was introduced a while ago but never got anywhere browser/operating specific. Frontpage has a habit or trying to write code that makes no sense at all. I suggest manually editing the picture from the html file using notepad, or you can just upload a different file under the same name (overwriting the old) through an FTP client and it will change.

    Leafo I don't know if Im a little late for this post but I would like to suggest something even though Im just starting in this webpage design field. First I have to say that I don't use Frontpage at all due to some irregularities and dictator behaivor from Microsoft. I recently put up a very simple page for a website Im setting up and when I instruct the client to go and look at it she indicated to me that the picture was not showing. I spoke to the ISP with which I have a very good business relationship and he said to me that the mistake I just made is a usual thing for newbies and that is that I was not publishing the picture on his server but rather pointing the pictures source to my c: drive. Thats why I was the only one seening it. After I redirected the source to the server and publish the picture correctly everyone was able to see it. Im not sure its that is what is happening here, but I think it is.
