1. My Webmaster DELETED My (and Everyone Else's) Pages

Loved One was having a DumbFuck moment while doing something to our server, and tossed a few folders. He realized what they were the moment he had flushed them forever. I used to have a nice site with many photos of several Primitive Art Sites; now I have a collection of .jpgs that aren't linked to anything.

a true :banghead: story if i ever heard one

well, i've managed to recreate a portion of what i lost -- now my page won't show my images. i don't even know WTF i'm doing wrong. my ftp client has everything from my hard drive. i don't know if it's in how i uploaded things or if it's errors in my code or what but --

this site has to be up NOW because it's mentioned in a classified ad going online today!

:banghead:

anyway. thanks for listening.

edit: look what happened to my page! no images! www.adoptcats.org

4. It's One of Two Things: Syntax or Syntax

Check the spelling of the image (I don't know how many times I've typed in ".jpeg" like an idiot) or that you've addressed it to an image that exists!

2. It should still be saved on your computer.

Wouldn't you have to save it to your hard drive before uploading it?

6. Take Out the Titles in the Images

Looks like they're overaddressed (the image name is in too many times).

7. Valid Path?

<html>
<head> 
<img src="photos/1eartipped.png"
width="245" height="223"
alt="1eartipped.png" border="0"><img
src="photos/adoptcatsimage2.jpg"
width="594" height="183"
alt="adoptcatsimage2.jpg" border="0">

I think you need *more* addressing for the images now that I
look at the code - they show up on your computer because
that's where the photos live. You need to upload the photos
and address them as http://servername.com/1eartipped.png
(etc). - like you did with the stuff form Alley Cat Allies.

8. i'm using an html editor - Evrsoft First Page -

When I use the insert image tool, it never copies in the complete location name. It starts with "photos/" instead of "C:/Documents . . . " etc.

9. Yeah, You've Got to Complete the Pathing

Since the photos live on your computer while you're composing, the HTML editor paths it from there, but for the page to go "live" the photos have to live on the server with the webpage. Just upload them, and plop the http://servername.whatever infront of each picture and it should work. Don't use the wWindows path - the photos have to be on the WEB server, not your computer.

10. for tonight i'm going to have to use my images on freakin' photobucket

in order to get the page online by the time my ad hits.

i did what you said and it still didn't work. OOH! i know why it didn't work! it's three in the morning! my eyes are bleary and my brain is mush. hopefully with sleep i'll be able to figure it out.

thanks for your help - you have been very generous.

11. Photobucket Will Work Just Fine!

It's a lot easier than I've probably made it seem. When you're less tired (ha!), "view source code" of a simple web page (any page will do) and see how they have their images coded to get a better idea if I'm making no sense.

13. Just Checked; No change in The Code

Yes, I refreshed to get the new stuff! Get some rest. It'll be clear later.

14. First, make sure the pictures are actually in the folders

Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 06:38 AM by China_cat

referenced and that your tree is correct (that the photos folder hasn't gotten lost inside another folder)

then try putting ..(two periods) before the photo folder name and see if that doesn't work for you
