Are you using Publisher? What is the URL of the your website? From a Google
search:

"<v:imagedata> tags are how Microsoft encodes images that were present in
the original MS Word document. Since the images are local to your PC (and
not uploaded to the server), a placeholder <IMG> tag is created. You will
need to modify the IMG tags appropriately to point to your images after they
are uploaded. Or simply remove the <IMG> tags if you do not intend on
keeping them."

If you are using Publisher 2003, then you might try going to Tools > Options
> Web tab and unchecking "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG..." , and then when
you do produce your html files, File > Publish to the Web to produce
filtered html files. You should not be editing the code directly.

If you are trying to use awardspace to host your site, and it frames your
site, then you will probably continue to have problems. If this doesn't
help, post back with more details as to what you are tying to do, and the
problem you are experiencing.

Thanks David for the quick response.

No the two checkboxes are not checked.

my website URL is http://anmol.awardspace.com/index.htm

For your reference, i have now uploaded a page as published by MS publisher,
it is

http://anmol.awardspace.com/index_withvtag.com

you can see the difference in the two pages is only a line called

<v:imagedata src="index_files/image339.jpg ...

replaced by <img width=115 height=87 src="index_files/image339.jpg

this I had to manually do, I want to avoid doing this as it is painful if
the # of files are big.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not sure what is going on, but you might try unchecking the use of the
subfolder under Tools > options > web folder. There isn't any other option
to change the way that Publisher generates the html code.

Note that the link:
http://anmol.awardspace.com/index_withvtag.htm
does load in FireFox, which would imply that it has to do with the code
produced for IE.

David,

http://anmol.awardspace.com/index_withvtag.htm
does load in FireFox, which would imply that it has to do with the code
produced for IE. <<

The original link would not load for me in Mozilla because of the
missing space. Copy/paste add the underscore which makes it work, at
least for me.

Mike,

Not sure I follow. The original link didn't work for me because of the .com
extension. When I clicked on it, it redirected me to a page on the
awardspace.com site. By changing the extension to:
http://anmol.awardspace.com/index_withvtag.htm I was able to load the page
in both FF and IE6. The baby picture does not load in IE, but does in FF. If
you compare the IE code to the FF code you will see that they differ.

I suggested the OP not use subfolders because then the supporting graphic
files will be at the same level in the directory as the index.htm file.
Hopefully then IE will be able to "find" the baby picture. I am kind of
making a best guess here ;-) This a new one for me.

I had another thought...

Go to tools > options > web tab and if you have the Encoding set for Western
European (ISO) then switch it to Unicode (UTF-8), or the other way around.
See if that helps.

Thanks David.

Unfortunately, my office seems to have blocked awardspace.com and I cannot
check it. However, I forgot to highlight that when I use the preview your
website option or publish to local directory and view the page, the image
comes perfectly fine.

I will check your solutions at home later tonight and revert back.

Thanks

In that case I am out of suggestions other than to look to your host for an
answer. Sorry.
