Can't see images on a Mac

MAC users of my web-site (Win 2k)can't see the images on web pages made with PS 7 Automated web page. Anyone had this problem or have a suggestion.

It's hard to decipher what is going wrong in a FrontPage created site. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure capitalization is identical in your filenames. Windows will see Slide_4.gif and slide_4.gif as identical, while other OS will not.

Ah, but the web server generally will not.

Unix/Linux (the majority of the world's web servers) will NOT see Slide_4.gif and slide_4.gif as same, and link will break. Will not see image.gif and image.GIF as same either.

Simple link:
<http://doogle.com/misc/Leaf.jpg>
hmmm....doesn't work

try
<http://doogle.com/misc/leaf.jpg>

See?

So unless you are content to only view your HTML successfully from your own Windows hard drive, case must be exactly matching.

Paul,

Probably because the code is a mess...you appear to be using back-slashes in URLs which will encode as ASCII 92 or in hex %5C

Example:

You have:
<a href="Frisco20040319\index.htm"> which will become to the server <a href="Frisco20040319%5cindex.htm">
I'm assuming that should be:
<a href="Frisco20040319/index.htm">And it's not just Mac users that will have problems. All the links on
http://www.eventphotographyassociates.com/FortParker_2004040 3%5Cindex.htmare broken.

Probably seeing images ok from his own computer only.
