Webseeker -> How The **** Do You Insert A Picture? !!! (4/6/2008 5:24:07)

Hello there.

First time poster and it seems it's a pre-101 question too. LOL!

I have FrontPage 2003 and am just getting to learn it. I've published sites before with other programs, mainly wysiwyg ones.

Now the frustration started to sit in after about 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to insert a picture! Yes, something so simple. I could manually go in and change the code, but want to do it by pressing buttons!

As I was test publishing a page to the net, I got to the part where I wanted to add a graphic/picture and could NOT figure how to do that. I have a picture hosting place where I store some pics.(yeah, can store on own server with my site) Lets say the url of the picture location is below: (made up name)

http://www.picturehostingsite123.com/users/webseeker/funnypic.jpg

Now I'm not sure of the terminology, if it's hot-linking or what, but all I want to do is insert a picture, but FP didn't ask me for the url of the picture's location, like with some other editors.

I can do this manually, but there must be a way to do it with using FP's push buttons.

What do you think?

Thanks,

WebSeeker

Open site in FrontPage, go to Navigation View, click page under construction (Design View), then: >Insert >Picture (browse for location of picture) >double click >Save >File >Publish Site.

Hello Larry,

I do not see any of the navigation you mention. At least how you say them. We may have different versions of FP. I have FP 2003.

Click link below to see a screenshot of how the top tool bar looks.

In the event someone misunderstands what I mean, here's what I thought would work, but didn't:

Navigation to: Insert>Picture>From File...>

Then box/browser/window opens and it wants me to add what folder my picture would be in! The picture's url is already established and hosted elsewhere. I know the HTML to manually create the code, but there must be a quicker way with just a few clicks to do it through FrontPage.

Confused,

Webseeker

If the picture is not on your computer's hard drive, how can you insert it using FP2003? You will have to do the code method you already mentioned. BTW, there is an icon that you can click if Insert > Picture > From File ... is too slow.

Good luck, Ed

I could have loaded my picture of the tool bar I was looking at, like shown above, BUT I wanted to get away from the long picture so it doesn't distort and exaggerate the screen's width and have viewers scroll unnecessarily.

Anyway, this cracks me up: If the picture is not on your computer's hard drive, how can you insert it using FP2003?

My question and point exactly! On another editor, Nvu, I simply click the Image button, then it asks me for the image's location... of which I input the picture's URL... which is already hosted on the internet. Then the resulting code for source would look like this:

<img alt=""src="http://www.exampleofcodeforpicalreadyhosted.com/user/pic3">

After doing that the picture would load it from the site host above and it would show up as it should.

When I manually go in FP 2003 and add the below code, it loads up just fine while I'm working on the project:

<img src="http://examplepichostsite.com/images/me/mypicname.jpg">

If I use an URL for a picture from another site, like one of my picture hosting places, is going in manually like I showed above the only way I can get it to work?

Thanks for the help. This FP thing is fun, but the learning process is slow sometimes. I love putzin' with it and am really hoping when I come across problems, your help will speed up my learning curve!

Oh, Ed, I missed the part you explaining about the Insert Picture Icon. I knew about that, but it didn't help in this example... or my problem anyway.

==========================

Cool! I just saw we can add pictures here via attachment. That makes it quicker! I'll see if I can find about a 100 or so of my Bitmap pics, approx. 1.2mb each, and I'll post them. I'm sure the ones on dial-up will like that. LOL! [:D]

Thanks.

Even though Inserting an Image to Your Webpage is giving you an example with Expression Web, it is basically the same.

If the image is on your hard drive, just highlight the file and Press CNTL-C (copy). Now in your images folder in your FrontPage website, right click on the folder and choose Paste. This should place the image in your FrontPage website so hopefully it is easier to use.
