Part of my web code includes a base ref statement such as:

<BASE HREF="http://homepage.mac.com/efithian/Geometry/">

Each of the images has a reference such as:
<IMG SRC="P-05B.gif" ALIGN="BOTTOM">

I tried removed the HREF statement from the code, and removed the images from the page view, then inserted the images in the correct locations. That seems to work. Am I going through an unneccesary process?
Copy all the images off your iDisk into the same folder as your HTML file on your hard disk. Remove the <BASE...> statement from your HTML. Open the HTML and Sigil, and all your pictures should be there.

I don't think Sigil will retrieve images from the internet for you, even on your own web sites.
