Website creation question

I don't know where else to put this, so here goes...

I am just learning how to create and publish websites. I made my first couple of pages ok, but when I re-did them to fix some stuff, Mozilla stopped showing any of the gif's or jpg's, They still show up fine in IE. Can anyone explain why this might be. I am just using word to make very simple pages so far.

Thanks in advance for any help.

^i agree.

just like that game show from the 80's with music notes... 'i can create that page in 15 lines' 'i can create it in 12' 'create that page!'

Thats what you get when you use a bloated word processor to make web pages. Seriously I am gonna be that your problem is do the the propriatary nature of the code that Word outputs. And how it works with the quirky ways IE renders pages that does not stand up to spec.
 
Doesn't Frontpage come with Office ? If you're attempting to learn to do websites, you need to get away from Word. I use it to convert large tables (including data) to html format and it gives me a fatty headache with that bloated code we're all seeing. Acquire Macromedia Dreamweaver or Adobe GoLive if you can as they provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface too. They produce pretty standardized code.

Perhaps IE cached your images from an earlier load (it likes to cache) but Mozilla isn't seeing them from whatever server you have them on... can you give us a direct link to the images ? They're on a server somewhere - not just on your local machine, right ?

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

We see the forbidden message. Something is quirky with the setup.
 
It has to do with the muck that MS Word generated. The output is made specifically for MS products and won't validate to W3C standards, which Mozilla strongly adheres to.

If in doubt if your page follows standards, you can use this tool
http://validator.w3.org/

If you want to create a webpage that will work across all browsers, I suggest you invest in another HTML generating tool like Dreamweaver, or take a short read and do it by hand using Notepad.

HTML is really VERY easy to learn.
 
Thanks. That's what I have to do I guess.....How hard is dreamweaver to learn? I had someone else suggest it too.


Thanks to everybody that helped.
 
#1: Don't publish test pages to your public site. Makes you look bad. Make a "Coming Soon" page to leave as index.html and create a test folder under the domain for this sort of thing.

#2: CoffeeCup Software They have a great code editor and a decent WYSIWYG one, comparable to early versions of Front Page.

There are a bazillion HTML and web design sites out there. I suggest you start reading up.
