Hello! I am a Photoshopper quite new to the world of the web. I have recently purchased the Adobe Master Collection and am trying to get my own website up, but am starting off with a slight problem. I Have a website that I can create text on, but not images. I am using Dreamweaver, and am sure there is some box left unchecked that is causing my problem, but I have yet to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction? The images are in the same location as the text, which I can see. Thank you!!!

I could be a variety of problems. One... it could simply be that you have not uploaded the files to your web space. If you uploaded the web page and not the images and failed check the "upload dependant files" option when posting from Dreamweaver to the web than it's possible they were never sent. Seams obvious but it happens often enough

If you have uploaded the images, then it means that your web page is not referencing the location of the images correctly. This happens a lot when using relative URLs. For example, the code would look something like:

<img scr="someimafefile.jpg" />

would point to a a file in the same directory as where the page is located while the relative URL

<img scr="images/someimafefile.jpg" />

would point to an image located in a subfolder "images" in the same folder as the residing web page.

Relative URLs can get confusing. And Absolute URL is just that, absolute. It points to the exact resting place of the image. If the absolute URL is wrong then the picture will not show either.

hi, dont worry the problem will be solved, dreamweaver is a great invention for webpages. it is so userfriendly once you know all its functions.

if you could copy paste atleast one sample of calling image onto the page. we can have a look at the url and solve it faster.

good luck :)
