Viewing Images

message from gunther17 on 24 Jul 2004
I have inserted a jpg image into a page. I can view it fine when I preview it
on my browser but when I upload it and try and view it on the web I just get a
blank section where the image should be. I must be doing something wrong but
can't see what.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Look at the code on the page. Do you see the link to the image pointing to
your hard drive?

file:///c:/blahblah/image.jpg?

This is what happens when you insert an image that is not in the current
site, and then refuse the prompt to copy it within the site, or when you
save a page outside the current site, or when you work on pages that aren't
within any site.

The solution is to remake the link without making any of those mistakes.

Hi yea,
if you could upload the page in question it would make it a lot easier to
tell where you may be going wrong.

Here is your image link -

<img src="../Images/beatles.jpg" width="450" height="319">

You are telling the browser to go UP one directory and then look for the
images folder. But since the page you uploaded is already in the root of
the site, there is no UP from that location. This indicates that your local
site and your remote site are not mirrors of each other with regard to
folder hierarchy - they should be identical.

In addition, I can find no evidence of that image being anywhere on the
server - did you upload it?
