I understand that my supervisor would not be able to see the images if I
didn't send them to him, but the trouble is that I can't even see them
immediately after I tell lyx to export to HTML. The images seem to be
linked to /var somewhere, but there are no images there.
I was hoping I could create an HTML file with links to the pictures that
could
be in a a subdirectory.
If all else fails, I will send HTMLfor the text and a pdf for the images.

I dont know if this helps but when I have to produce a word document for
those who have yet to be inculcated into the higher logic of latex, I export
the lyx as a latex file and then latex it a couple of time and then go
latex2html -split 0 filename.
My experience is that if your piccie is a jpeg it will show up.
May be worth a try.
You tend to get the blurb at the beginning of the first page and at the end
of the last page about the latex2html authors and all that.
and it tends not to be able to deal with unusual sty files etc.

The images won't be incorporated into the html in the same wqay they are
a
pdf or ps file. The html will merely include links to where the image
files
are on your pc. If you haven't sent him the image files then he won't be
able to see them.
As an aside, one way to send him editable text is to send him the latex
source. Admittedly this won't have images in either but he will be able
to
open the plain text on any text editor - WordPad on Windows for example.
Then you can simply convert his revised tex file to lyx using relyx or
tex2lyx.
If he really needs to see the figures too send him a pdf and he can read
that along side.
Just a thought.
