no pictures on my site

[mehlev]

Hi all! I am an extreme Noob, and was wondering if I could get some help :)
I have looked for similar posts, and couldn't find any, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat.

I've been using Dreamweaver and everything turned out great, I could view all of my pages and photos when I clicked on the "Preview in Browser" button, but after I published it through my university, my pictures are not showing up. Here is the link to my site:
http://udel.edu/~mehlev


Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks for the help!

Is "../My Pictures/webpage/elreflect.gif" the actual path on your server, or the path when it was on your computer? If it's all in the root you can ditch all the characters before the file name.

Check the folder structure both in you system and at the host (where you have published) it should be the same.
This problem is due to wrong file paths.

Hi, Thanks for responding! I really am new at this, so I don't really know what you're talking about, lol. But I did go into Dreamweaver and deleted the characters before elreflect.gif, to test it, and the picture got deleted.

[mehlev]

Do you mean I should the website code and the code of my design on Dreamweaver? Sorry to be such a dunce about this, it's my first webpage :)

I tried adding your path "../My Pictures/webpage/elreflect.gif" in many different fashions to see if I could see your pic e.g. http://copland.udel.edu/~mehlev/My Pictures/webpage/elreflect.gif and many other combinations. Are you sure that your pics got uploaded? Can you see them in the directory? And make sure also that the file names and extensions are not in caps...elreflect.gif, not elreflect.GIF. Sometimes this causes a problem also.

[mehlev]

ok, I'll try that. Thanks!!

[mehlev]

yes, my pictures ar uploaded into the folder where my .html's are. And I tried substituting a website with a new route in for my original site, but the border still didn't show. Do you think it's b/c I just did it (could it take some time to upload)? Doubtful, right? :confused: Could the pictures still be too big or something like that? Thanks.

I see them now. Try browsing to this address: http://copland.udel.edu/~mehlev/elreflect.gif

Now you just have to change the path in your html doc to this:
img src="http://copland.udel.edu/~mehlev/elreflect.gif" and it will work.

You'll have to do that for each picture of course. You can also just use the file
name and folder without all the http stuff if you want: ~mehlev/elreflect.gif

[mehlev]

Cool! Thank you

[mehlev]

I changed all of them and still no pics

[Kevey]

Try adding a backslash...if no worky then try the full URL I showed above. <img src="/~mehlev/resume.gif"

and change your long description to match...

[Kevey]

oh...maybe they have your ~mehlev masked somehow...so if that doesn't work...just put the filename <img src="resume.gif">

I would do the full URL to make sure it all works. It can be really frustrating huh? http://copland.udel.edu/~mehlev/resume.gif

[Kevey]

Cool...I see you got it working with the full URL...you can experiment from here with the other options now that you know it'll work.

Your resume link probably won't work if I am reading the URL correctly. let us know if you need any more help.

[mehlev]

Yes, thank you!! I put in the full path and changed 3 that I had missed. Thanks for all your help :)

[Kevey]

any time. :)
