I' m working on uploading a site and some of my images show up but soem don' t and i can' t see a difference except for when I bring up their properties, the ones that don' t show up (only as broken links) say they don' t have info available for when they were created or modified. Please help! Thanks, Ariel

Okay, I have one, but let me preface this by saying that I can' t actually post my whole site until I' m finished modifying it, so the link bar isn' t going to take you anywhere; I' m not that brave yet! But, you' ll see two broken links (these are gifs I saved and let' s just say the page would look a lot better if you could see them!) I have another gif on there that' s working (the rose blooming on the left side) so I don' t know what' s different except for the properties details I already said. Thanks for replying, I' ll stop babbling now and give you the actual answer you' ve been waiting for: http://www.geocities.com/another_ariel/index.htm P.S.- Please don' t judge me! I' m a newbie at this! Thanks again! --Ariel Oh, and the e-mail works if you want to just send me your answer thru that; up to you! (in reply to Ariel)


Ariel Posts: 29 Joined: 10/30/2002 Status: offline	RE: the broken-link-ed: some images show/some don' t - 11/9/2002 23:19:17 Well, actually on the e-mail, when you get to it to send, make sure to add an ' m' at the end of it; for some reason it' s just coming up " .co" at the end and it won' t send that way. If you' d rather just use the forum, I understand; I' m always checking here anyways! --Ariel Thanks again! (in reply to Ariel)

Currently those two broken images point to a folder called " gifs" . But if I change that folder to " images" the graphics are visible. So change: src=" gifs/music_note_jamming_md_wht.gif" to... src=" images/music_note_jamming_md_wht.gif" and then do the same to: src=" gifs/book_page_flip_md_blk.gif" Good luck, Kitka _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

Maybe I did this wrong since my links are still showing up broken, but I went into my hard drive and changed the folder named " gifs" to " images" so is that what you meant? I' m glad you' re seeing them though; maybe I' ll try a different computer and see what happens. Please let me know if what I did was what you meant b/c I' m thinking I may have misunderstood. Thanks y' all! --Ariel (in reply to Ariel)

You really didn' t need to change the folder names as that was not the problem. #2. Your problem lies here: <body stylesrc=" AnotherAlanis.htm" background=" file:///C:/WebPaging/IronicTonic/images/lbfp.jpg" bgcolor=" #000000" text=" #FF0000" > Your images are pointing to your C: drive when they should point to the file within your web. Here' s an example. <body stylesrc=" AnotherAlanis.htm" background=" images/lbfp.jpg" bgcolor=" #000000" text=" #FF0000" > _____________________________ "go forth and create." (in reply to Ariel)

No, changing the name of a folder on your hard drive makes no difference to anyone but you. It is the name of the folder you have on the web which matters. Currently you have your page set to find images in a folder on the web called " gifs" . This folder appears to not exist. You do however have a folder called " images" containing the two missing gifs. You need to have a link which points to the correct folder.

Change this html code

<img border=" 0" src=" gifs/music_note_jamming_md_wht.gif" width=" 120" height=" 120" >

to this...

<img border=" 0" src=" images/music_note_jamming_md_wht.gif" width=" 120" height=" 120" >

and change the other one to:

<img border=" 0" src=" images/book_page_flip_md_blk.gif" width=" 86" height=" 76" >

save it - then publish it!

Seventh also pointed out that you have the link for background image of the page pointing to a folder your hard drive - so you will see it but no-one else will. Change that just as he suggests.

A couple of your links also are pointing to your hard drive and so will not work when someone clicks on them:

<a HREF=" file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/dictionary#?book=Dictionary&va=ironic" >

and

<a HREF=" file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/dictionary#?book=Dictionary&va=wit" >

Did you mean to link to Websters online? If so, you need a link which looks something like this:

<a HREF=" http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary" >Wit</a>

Most of the above is best achieved by editing in HTML view. Also, you can add the missing " m" into the link for your email address by hilighting it with your mouse, then right click and choose " Hyperlink properties" and then editing what you see in the box.

In reading your source file I notice you have used a few non-standard fonts. Only the people who have those fonts installed on the computer will see the page as you intend. It is better to stick to " web safe" fonts where possible.

I' m glad you' re seeing them though; maybe I' ll try a different computer and see what happens.

Viewing it another computer will make no difference - I was only able to see the images by making an educated guess as to their location on the server, and typing that into my address bar. However, looking at your site on another computer is very educative - because you will see variations you never expected!

Please let me know if what I did was what you meant b/c I' m thinking I may have misunderstood.

You did!

I hope this helps a bit and good luck with it.

I went back to the html code and changed it to where it was just reading in the web and fixed my e-mail link. Thanks for the linking to Webster' s idea; I actually didn' t even think of that but great idea! Also, I' m going to find some web-safe font later and change what I' ve got. One problem I am having is my photo gallery won' t show up and i think it has something to do with this gray text in the code: <!--webbot bot=" PhotoAlbum" U-Include=" photogallery/photo041/real.htm" clientside TAG=" BODY" It' s great to know there are people I can rely on for help, of which you are both excellent at, so thanks so much and if you want, you can click on the link again; I' ve added some more pages (getting a little braver) and I couldn' t do it without you, so thank you both, Seven and Kitka! --Ariel (in reply to Ariel)

What' s the url to the photo gallery? I can take a look at the code. _____________________________ "go forth and create." (in reply to Ariel)
