Hi Cristy

../ does not mean you have not uploaded the graphic - it means when you
originally made the link in FP (which I do not use) the image was in a
folder up from the one which held the html file.

Let me try and explain.

1. Folder Docs containing
      File index.html
      File image.jpg
This image file will be called by src="image.jpg"

2. Folder Docs containing
      File index.html
      Folder images containing
          File image.jpg
This image file will be called by src="images/image.jpg"
Ie the html page must first look in folder images to get file image.jpg

3. Folder Docs containing
       Folder Pages containing
             Index.html
       Folder images containing 
             Image.jpg
This image file will be called by src="../images/image.jpg"
Ie the html page must first move to the folder 1 up from where it is (from
pages to docs) this is done by ../ then it must go to the image folder to
find image.jpg.

Likewise -
4.  folder docs containing 
        Image.jpg
        Folder pets containing
            Folder cats containing
                 Index.html
This image file would be called by index.html by
Src="../../image.jpg"

Hope this makes sense!

This probably happened when you were using FP. I imagine FP would put the
links in depending on the folders on your hardrive - if you change this
directory structure when you upload then the links will be wrong.

I Dreamweaver for all my code although I hand coded for over a year when I
started and even when using dreamweaver I hand code in code view. 
In my view you need to know how to hand first before you can try an editor.
Notepad (not wordpad) is perfect for this.

I taught myself from scratch using net tutorials and now I have made a few
websites for friends and local businesses.

The original site I used I cannot find but once I had the basics I found
webmonkey very handy.

.../ -- simply means you haven't uploaded the graphic and/or this
is more likely -- you need to have front page know where the
graphic is.

Go into source code and rewrite the link to where the graphic is
located in your directory.

Browsers can't reach into your hard drive and get it (big smile
here) -- the graphic has to be in your directory where you've
placed all the rest of your website files.
