Red X's

[jackunger]

Has anyone come up with a cure for the red x problem that develops as a result of upgrading to IE6?

When I am on-line, I have no problem seeing graphics displayed correctly. The problem arises when I try to view a web stored on my computer. I've worked with FP2000 and Win98 to create a web and all was fine until I upgraded to IE6. Now I can't view the graphics on my pages when I select the "preview" tab in FP. I have another web authoring program that allows previewing in browsers and that shows red x's instead of graphics also.

I've checked the links and paths of the graphics - all OK.
I've made sure that my IE6 options are selected to view graphics and encoding is set to "Western European (Windows)"

I've reinstalled FP and IE6, I've reverted back to IE5.5.

Nothing has helped. I've posted to the Microsoft IE and FP newsgroups and lots of people seem to be having the same problem One of their MVP's even asked me to let him know if I found a solution.

I guess that eventually I'm going to have to reformat my hard drive - not my first choice. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Go here http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm for some reason MS Virtual Machine is not part of IE6 or doesn't get installed. What ever the reason it cleared up the problem for me.

When saving a webpage click on File -> Save As and make sure the "Save as type:" is "Webpage, complete (*.htm, *.html)" instead of "Webpage, HTML only (*.htm,*.html)" this should create a seperate folder with the all the graphics right next to the HTML File

Tek, Dragon

Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately neither suggestion has helped.

I have a website hosted by Powweb
www.antarcticenterprises.com (http://www.antarcticenterprises.com) I built the site using webexpress4.0 (yeah, I know - but I'm a newbie and don't know html from beans). Anyway, it looks fine when I open it while online. If I go off line and open it using webexpress then try to view the web that is stored on my machine while offline with internet explorer, that's where the problem develops.

I've done the same thing using FP2000 to build http://www.scubatravel.org Same problem. It looks OK if I am online, but when I go offline and try to view the web that is stored on my machine, I get the red x's.

Any other ideas???

I tried saving the site and it worked for me ... the only image that didn't show is the pingun this is because the file is stored as Antarctic Enterprises Home Page_files/PENGUIN%20LOGO.gif instead of Antarctic Enterprises Home Page_files/PENGUIN LOGO.gif just rename it and it should work fine... try to avoid spaces in filenames ... they are evil :)

Saved your main page and all images appeared in the saved version.

Before you re-format.....

Sounds like the scaled down "PWS" server the FP uses... to display your site... has a bad registry entry.... based on the IE6 upgrade.....

Because some things have to be "serverd".... to appear properly... you need some type of server software... to handle this.... usually graphics... are not an issue... since they can be seen with an absolute... or realtive reference... but IE 6 may have changed that....

If you have FP.... you have PWS "personal Web Server"

I would un-install FP.... and PWS... and re-installing.... both....

before re-formatting.....

Oh.... BTW.... if you save something from the internet... "FILE SAVE AS"..... YOUR computer... will save all the correct references... regardless...
