i built a large site under a semi-contract fro my school with frontpage 2000. I uploaded the site yet all pages except my home page work fine it appear fine in Frontpage, with all my borders and pictures, but on the net it appears only as text...all my other pages i browse show up fine, except the index (home). is this i HTML issue? if so can any help me fix it? or just plain fix it at all? i would post pics but...

First of all, how was the site uploaded, via frontpage or ftp? Check the path, the spelling, and the case type of the graphic. Also if you provide us with an url, it will be easier to give you an answer.

i am trying to upload through frontpage, and what do you mean by case type? GIF if that is what you mean. if you want, i will upload some screenshots of my problem, and give you access to one of my servers

a screen shot will not do. We really need the url of the pages you are having problems with. Gotta look at the source code to check out the problem and the only way to do it is to go to the actual page.

I'm uncomfortable of the idea of you identifying your school on the board (I'm assuming that the site is the site of your school) because such information can identify you so it's a bad idea to post it.

What I would suggest you do is run your site through the W3C validator, http://validator.w3.org which will identify errors in the code which FrontPage has produced.

this is not the site of my school, this is a site of an highly intellectual branch of the school, and there is no site at my url, as there are no links on my homepage when i upload, and there is no personal info on the site that is accessable without authentication, so i am not worried. the url is commerceib.com, but there is nothing there, i suspect problems with my frontpage server extensions as well.

In am confused. In your first message you said you uploaded your site. In your last message you stated there is nothing there?

Not all frontpage extensions will work on your computer, you have to publish the pages to a website that allows frontpage extensions in order to see it. If you are using ftp, your extensions will not work.

Also I failed to answer one of your questions, what I mean by case is if you graphic is saved in all caps, then the link in the source must be all caps.
