FP1: Image Missing if File Name Contains Slash Character

 * }

Q188533

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FrontPage for the Power Macintosh, version 1.0

-

SYMPTOMS
When you insert a graphic whose file name contains a slash (/) character, FrontPage Editor creates an invalid link to the graphic. When you save the page, the graphic is not saved to the Web. Thus, when you preview the page, the image is missing.

This behavior also occurs if the file name contains a question mark (?).

CAUSE
The file name contains an invalid character. On the World Wide Web, a slash character designates separate folders (directories) in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) path. This also affects file and folder names.

RESOLUTION
Replace the invalid character in the file name with a valid character before you insert your graphic.

MORE INFORMATION
A file name should not contain any of the following symbols:

  Slash Mark (/) Question mark (?) Backslash (\) Asterisk (*) Colon Number Sign (#) Greater Than sign (&lt;) Less Than sign (&gt;) Vertical Bar (|) Quotation Mark (") Additional query words: mac fpexplorer fpeditor
