Template problem - navigation buttons won't resolve

Hello. I am totally new to this. I was so proud of my efforts, having composed a lovely page from a mix of a couple templates I downloaded. Then I discovered that no one was seeing what I was seeing! The file paths are set to my directories on my PC, so I see them fine but...online nothing. I managed to fix one image. Happy. But the navigation bar will NOT resolve, no matter what I do. This is the code I have:
<td
style="background-image: url(file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Zia/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Family%20Pictures/dotster%20templates/051/051/img/buttonblank.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 139px; height: 30px;"><a
href="tools.html">Tools</a></td>
</tr>

I have tried a couple suggestions, including chaning the path to:
url(/im/buttonblank.jpg) and url(file:///im/buttonblank.jpg)

'im' is the file I put the images in. I have tried it without though, just as:
url(buttonblank.jpg)

All I get is the link! No button at all. and they are so pretty and match the rest of the site.

Any ideas? Zeebi

are all of the images uploaded to your server?

Yep. The images have been uploaded in their own file, and with the rest of the files. I can insert the image on it's own and it will appear - but won't serve as a button cuz I can't write on it. But I can't seem to put both together! Is that cuz it's jpeg? Would it help to convert it to .gif or something?

Thank you. I can not try it yet....too many other things to work on before my 'dayjob' starts again. But I will....ASAP. I had to give up for now. It took me a full 24hrs just to make progres....too much time. Took them out for now but will be looking into new code when I can.
THANK YOU! YOu guys rock! Laughing
