Are you using Dreamweaver to upload your web pages to the server? If not, I would make sure that your file structure is the same on your local and remote site. If so, have you tried synchronizing your site to make sure that those files are there and in the correct location?
Hope this helps! :-V

Thanks for the input. I thought that the remote and local site differences might be a problem so I got rid of my remote site files and am testing locally. Also changing my links from site relative to document relative(tho I doubt this is the problem). So far this has not helped. I have relinked all my html pages buttons and reinserted many pages graphics to no avail. I will keep trying. Maybe the next remote upload will be more successful. I am using Netscape 4.76, could this be a browser problem?

I have encountered some strange problems in the past using Netscape. I always use IE. Wouldn't hurt to try previewing in IE and see if the graphics still don't show. You're right, this is an unusal problem. Usually when I see this happen it is just that the page is looking for the graphic in the wrong place. Good Luck!

A friend who is a whiz with html figured it out by looking at my code.

" Inside index.html your links look like this:
>
> <img src=&quot;LTH.gif&quot; width=&quot;454&quot; height=&quot;44&quot; name=&quot;Laura&quot;
> border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Laura&quot;>
>
> Pay attention to the &quot;src&quot; attribute, it is: LTH.gif, this means that
> this image is located in the SAME folder as index.html, they are located at
> the same directory level.

> <img src=&quot;/LTH.gif&quot; width=&quot;454&quot; height=&quot;44&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Laura
> &quot; name=&quot;Laura&quot;>
>
> If you look at the &quot;src&quot; attribute, now it is equal to: /LTH.gif, I'm

This was the problem and it now works perfect!
