Hi there,

I have a problem that is just really annoying and hoped someone might be able to help ...
I uploaded a few pages, and they have arrows to move about from page 1 -2, 2 -3, 3-4 etc.
Page 1 - 3 is fine but Page 4, when someone uses it, it appears as x's as though the files are not in the image folders.
I checked to see where that img src was, and it's as it should be. img src=images/etc....
When I view the page on my PC I view the source code from IE 5 and it appears as file://c.etc etc as though it is pulling the files from my hard drive.
BUT when I check the page on the remote server, it says that it's pulling the image files from the image folder on my remote server.
Why is it doing this a) Pulling the files from my hard drive when I view the page from it's www. address
b)Why can't others view it ?
c) How do I fix this ??
I cannot see in the source code any problems.
Thank you for your help,
K

Go to the Code View and make relative links to the images (ie: /images/myimage.jpg) - you've got absolute links to directories on your hard drive at the moment.

Thanks for the reply Brent. As far as I can see it appears to be relative paths.......but when I upload my page, it's not even the right page that has been uploaded.
could it possibly be a server problem on my end ?? Is it possible that the server isn't overwriting the files already on the remote server ??
I have uploaded several changes and they do not appear.
My web hosting hasn't been very supportive, but I appreciate any comments you may have.

First thing is to make sure you've uploaded the actual images in the directories specified in your code -

If you are worried that your pages are not being uploaded, delete the pages you plan to replace first, rather than overwriting them - then you'll know for sure whether your pages actually transferred...

Hey Brent! Great advice !! Worked like a charm.
The only thing I couldn't understand was on the remote server it showed the updated changes, but when viewing the site online it was showing it as the wrong file.
I uploaded a test page, and then re-examined the code and saw a slight differential that wasn't showing, so of course it was pulling an old file instead of the new file (I was updated and over writing)
Excellent learning experience for me. I really appreciate your great advice!

Something else that might help ya, always go into IE and delete the temporary internet files before viewing the changes, as you might be viewing something old from this cach, rather than the new stuff you have uploaded. It doesn't always happen, but can be frustrating when it does!!
