Thanks for explaining Chris. It helps to know why those were showing up ../ all the time and the 20 percent etc.. Judith on the list recommended WebMonkey also and I worked with a tutorial from there last night. I think I got pretty far in it. I need to tackle tables next. There is alot to learn I know. I had heard that Dreamweaver was better than FP. I think our professor recommended FP thinking it would be easiest for now, he also recommended one more that I did use but cannot recall the name now. The course I am in does not teach HTML. cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <chris@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 4:04 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: website, little red x again for pictures > 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 originally made the link in FP (which I do not use) the image was in a 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.
