Sorry, this is completely OT here but people are so helpful and someone
is sure to know.

I am trying to get a webpage onto tiscali.fr and I can't find anything
in the help pages in french about how to include the photos. I got the
pages online easily using the tiscali website and without all the hassle
I have had in the past with FTP. The links in the pages currently point
to the photos location on my hard drive. I thought the pictures might be
embedded in the pages (made with Front Page) but it seems they are not.


I failed to create a website in the "free webspace" of two different ISP
using Front Page. It seems FP tried to create a directory structure on the
web server to deal with the 'relative' links the other posters have
mentioned, and the the servers couldn't cope with it. In both cases,
however, I could upload a simple page with FTP. When I attempted to
"publish" the same web pages with Front Page on a third ISP's server that
*was* equipped with "Front Page Server Extensions" it worked first time with
no trouble. I always thought you only needed 'extensions' for certain
functions - like capturing input from the client browser into a contact
form, or similar - but it seems like you must have Front Page Extensions on
the web server for it to work at all. Alternatively, you must use a
different program from Front Page to publish your pages.
