Trouble? If the document type in your list is different than the document type

Trouble? If the background image disappears from the pages of your site when
you view them in Dreamweaver, don't worry. The background image will be vis-
ible when you preview the page in a browser and when you view the pages over
the Internet.
Trouble? If your instructor or IT department informed you that you will be using
something other than the ASP VBScript document type, you will select that docu-
ment type and your steps may differ somewhat from the remaining steps in this
section. If this is the case, ask your instructor or IT department for help.

Property inspector, delete .html from the Link box and type .asp . The contact link
is updated.

dependent files. (The contact.html page remains in the site's root folder but is no
longer used.)
Next, you'll complete Step 3 in the Server Behaviors panel.
