Website Publishing
 

Having some trouble publishing to a website. I have managed to upload all the files so that the site looks like it should in terms of layout and format. My pictures however do not appear, all I have are the frames with the little red crosses. All I'm doing is uploading the pics to the web directory as JPG's and they are showing as the correct file names and sizes. I know its a bit vague but can anybody think of any obvious things I'm doing wrong? I'm using evrsoft 1st page with the ftp client module.

Hard to tell without taking a look. Is the site somewhere on the WWW where I can look and see? PM me the URL if it is.

A common mistake is to set the website up on your hard drive with links to the images that specifically reference the location on your hard drive. For example <img=c:\webdev\myimage.jpg>. If you do that the page looks fine locally but the links fail when you upload the site to the web server because of the references to the hard drive. You would need to make sure that they just say something like <img=\webdev\myimage.jpg> so that they still find the images on the web server.

But as I said, hard to tell / can only guess without taking a look.

Right click one of the red crosses where the picture should be, and choose 'Properties'.

See where the source is, i.e. the directory/web address where the page is looking for the picture.

Like said above, you could have accidentally set to to your private directory, where the picture is stored on your computer?

Thanks ever so much for the replies so far. Looks like the files are located locally so I'll try do as suggested. Cheers.
