I have got over the problem with the link page by changing the name of the file, but I still have the problem that my background which was working perfectly OK till today then suddenly stopped so I get a white background.<body background="../SEABACKGROUND2.jpg"> is my background statement
I have re-uploaded the SEABACKGROUND2.jpg in case the one on server was corrupted, still no joy. the background still works on my ist page2000 writer off lineRegards

is the actual file name in caps? and is it in the directory one up from the file? you could always try putting it in the same directory as the page that is causing the problem and change the source to seabackground2.jpg or (SEABACKGROUND2.jpg if its in a caps)

I would change the file name because of two reasons..

1. People may get confused and get a "Page cannot be found".

and

2. That could cause the error.

OK thanks I will change the files to lower case, but the upper case files have been working OK for the last few months, strange.
Thanks again

It gets stranger, I have two files for background in the same directory of the same type, yet one works and the other does not, any ideas. both are jpg.files
