My desktop operating system is WindowsXP. The pages of a web site I posted (created in Netscape Composer, version 7.2) - www.dominica.nu - have a background image of sky and clouds. These are visible when viewed in Explorer, but not when viewed in Firefox. Can anyone explain this and advise how to correct it?

When I right-click the page and view source, it appears the path to the image is on the C: drive. I don't know whether you can fix that in Composer or you need to use WordPad or another text editor to fix it.

Many thanks for pointing that out. In Composer I have been able to remove the path to my hard drive stored image. What shows now on page source is: <body style="background-image: url(cloudback800x600.jpg);"> but the image is still not visible. Your further advice will be appreciated.

I think the file might be missing. This URL redirects to the main page:

http://www.dominica.nu/cloudback800x600.jpg

The background image file name is cloudback800x600.jpg and it has been uploaded. I am not an html expert. Please advise what that line of html should read so I can insert it manually. ManyThanks

Don't worry, I seem to have got there in the end. Thanks for the help.
