New Topic/Question
Reply
Ok so I'm using Dreamweaver(CS3) to create a website. I had a friends make a nice looking site in Photoshop(CS3), then I sliced and optimized it. Then I put the page into my website, and put in the image folder as well. Then I made sure that all the images has the correct source files. It looked like everything was fine, but then when I went to the website none of the images showed up. They show up as broken, like they have the wrong source, but I made sure that the images are from a folder in the site root, so it should work, right? I just don't know what's wrong, please help.
P.S.
Also, how do I make it so that images that are links don't have that blue box around them?
Thanks

Upload to an ftp?
Did you : Save for web > Save> and in the little drop down click images and html file?
use the html file as your Home page and edit around that for rest of page.

Your links are wrong. As an example, you should have something such as:
http://www.mysite.com as the main page and images should be in a new directory:
http://www.mysite.com/images [or something similar]
Also, you can simply set the border to 0, with something like the following:
<img src = "images/myimage.png" border = 0 />
Hope this helps

ok update:
So I tweaked the image source, on one image (made it relative to root instead of relative to document, which in theory shouldn't have any affect on it). That made it so all the images worked except for the home button. So then I did the exact same tweak to the home button and everything went back to not working. So after tweaking this and that, it appears that whatever I do to the image source or anything, it either causes all pictures to not work, or all to work except the home button. I still have no idea what's wrong.
Here is the link to the website: http://www.goldgas.exofire.net

Okay.. for some reason your files are still referring to the file on your home machine.
ie:
<img src="file:///C|/Users/Dan/Documents/images/gray_box_nextToBuyNow.gif" width="126" height="66" alt="">
I'm not sure why this is happening but if you fix your image links to read:
img src="./images/gray_box_nextToBuyNow.gif" width="126" height="66" alt="">
Should fix it.
Also, you may get this error if you don't use the upload features in Dreamweaver.
Try fixing these and let us know!

You want your code to match the directory structure of your webhost.
If that means changing your settings in DreamWeaver, I would strongly suggest doing that.

No, the problem actually is that you are using Dream Weaver, & because it tries to automate every little function of coding for you, it must be preciecly correct, or else this is what happens.
You really have two basic choices. Either read up on the documentation on how to correct Dream Weavers setup, so that the directory structure is correct & can be transfered to the web host, or use better editing software.

... it's your system & your web host. Other than images, I have no idea.
But from the examples you've provided I would guess it's whatever_your_root_web_directory_is/images
Not to be a jerk, but if you have to ask what this is, then you may want to take a step back & reread things over. Both on your hosting site & within your local setup. It might make more sense moving forward.

how are you uploading your files?
Are you doing it with a seperate FTP program or are you doing it through dreamweaver?

Replace your current code on your site (not on DreamWeaver) with the following:
You were still using image sources that were on your computer, so I corrected it. Also, I threw in those border=0 on each img tag.
You might want to consider using something else... DreamWeaver sucks, IMO. If anything, just use code view.
Hope this helps
