Actually, it looks like a Mac path: ><img src="file:///D's 200/Users/andrews/Documents/ Websites/Cambodia >Kids/Images/Page11/MBike2.jpg" width="160" height="213" alt="Mountain Bike" /> I suspect the single quote between D and s may be causing the problem, but I know zilch about Mac's. ;-) Gary

From: Peace Freak on 2 Jan 2008 23:13 Hello, Read through both the latest suggestions and decided to try getting rid of the single quote first as it was the easiest to do. I am on a Mac by the way... Well, that solved the problem. Changed my hard disk name from D's 200 to just D 200. After that I had to reset the site root folder but now pages made from the template are correctly formatted... Thank you so much for this excellent troubleshooting experience. I guess this single quote problem would be considered a bug (surely single quotes should be allowed in the names of hard disks???) as I don't ever remember Apple saying don't use single quotes when naming a hard disk... Should I/we report it to Adobe? I would be happy to. I don't know how these forums work but it might be an idea to post a topic/sticky with appropriate keywords so that others will be made aware of it easily. One remaining question. In the template, I used Modify/Page Properties to add a background to it. When I make a new page from the template, the background does not appear. Is that normal or should it appear? Thanks so much.

It's a well known issue that Mac users often use punctuation and/or other unusual characters in drive/path names and that tends to cause problems for some portions of Adobe applications. That's why you were asked to post the code from that image in an unsaved page. The src attribute of the img tag will show the complete path. > Should I/we report it to Adobe? I would be happy to. I don't know how these >forums work but it might be an idea to post a topic/sticky with appropriate >keywords so that others will be made aware of it easily. You can report it at http://adobe.com/go/wish/ (the same form is used for bug reports and feature requests. Like I said, it's a fairly well known issue, but more reports of a bug sometimes tend to work like votes to fix it. The more reports they get, the more likely it will be addressed. > One remaining question. In the template, I used Modify/Page Properties to add >a background to it.

It's not normal, but I'd have to see the code to hazard a guess at what the problem might be. Gary

I have just submitted a bug report... For the background image not appearing problem, I take it you would need to see the code of the template page. Should I post it here? It is about 10 pages in length... Or can you suggest another way. Thanks! |
