  		image woes... - 1/20/2003 11:23:48   
Okay... I published a sub-web and everything seemed to work fine last night. Then today the one image that is used doesn' t show up... only the placeholder (box with " x" )

So, I jumped online in IE and opened live... sure enough the image is there.

Step two, I checked my page code and it' s correct: 
</head>
<body>
 <div class=" A" >
   <img src=" name.gif"  width=" 250"  height=" 62"  border=" 0"  alt=" Alt Text" >
   <div class=" B" >
       <a class=" 1"  href


Step three, I checked that the file name matched in the web dir... check.

Step Four, I checke the file path, which looks like this:

htt://ww.myweb.com/subweb/directory/page.asp (edited to remove targetless link...)

All files in this sub-web are located in the same directory... (A file called " development" )

Step Five, I recalculated hyperlinks

Step Six is to go home and re-publish... but I wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts about what might be causing the problem... so far everything shows up except for that image :)

I don' t want to post the URL because it' s a development project that I' m not ready to share with everyone just yet...


:edit:
Sorry, accidentally posted in the ASP forum... had to move it here :)

Bobby,

I tried your link:

" The page can not be displayed"

Usually you get the x instead of the picture if the picture is in a path different from the one allocated in the src. It happened to be before, when I added the ../ImageFolder it worked. Maybe your case is different since you have checked to see that the path is correct.

Ah.. Ok this is why the link is inactive.

The only reason I know is that the picture has been moved from its place.

Thanks for checking, Hisham.

I edited the file path above so it won' t look like a link anymore... I forgot we don' t have to use the LINK button to create a link from the forum... [:p]

I' m stumped, I hope that republishing does the trick... because I' m kinda lost...

Do you suppose it could have something to do with the fact that it' s in a directory, not in the root of the sub-web..? All files are in the same location, so it shouldn' t matter AFAIK...

I' m gonna be perplexed by this one until I get it fixed... which won' t be until at least later tonight... gonna be a long day... :)

Bobby,

To clear the issue



  • Create a new page
  • Insert Picture
  • Create a folder
  • Save the page then save the picture in the folder
  • Browse it and see the path
  • Remove the picture from the folder
  • Save the page and browse again
  • You will get the x sign


Try doing is from the menus without hard coding now.

New Page
Insert
Picture
From File
Save the page
Save the image in the same problem folder
Browse the page
See the right path

I can' t think of anything else.

Bobby,

If all files are in the same folder then it should work.

Did you check the image extension? is it gif, bmp, jpg, jpeg,png...etc?

Bobby,

Try changing the name of the picture in both places from name.gif to name1.gif and check.

This is really strange?

Did you try to make the test link and browse the page?

New Page>Insert>Picture>From File then save it and browse it, just to make sure.

Bobby,

If it did not work, please try a new page, insert the same picture using the mouse, not the code, save and browse the page and see the result. Then go to the HTML view and see the path.

no joy...

nope...

Same file path, etc... I tried building a page in the root web and the sub-web root and link the image from there... still no dice.

I think I better email my host again...

Hi Bobby,

Did you Create a new page, Insert Picture, From File, then located the picture physically, then saved the page, after that no dice?:)

Really strange

Bobby,

Click on your root directory, select tools>recalculate Hyperlinks.

This is the last hope.

Hi Bobby,

If your hosting your site on a Unix server, check the case becuase it is case sensitive.

Bobby,

If the site is working fine on your PC locally. Republish your website and select overwrite.

Tried that...

It' s a Windows server, but I did check the case, even renamed a file that had mixed case to all lowers... still no dice...

That' s the next step... only I have to wait until I get home to do it... tick-tock... only 6 hours or so to go... :)

Hi Bobby,

I can' t wait to see it solved, this will be a good post when you find out what is the problem.

It should be a FAQ.

Hi Bobby,

How did you move the messsage to another forum and locked the reply button?

Did you do that or Spooky did? Or you are a moderator to the forum?

Thanks
Hisham

bobby,

Okay... I published a sub-web and everything seemed to work fine last night


A few stupid questions from me:

1): Is this page (that holds this .gif) in your subweb?
2): Is this .gif in your subweb or subweb tree?

:)

Still no luck... looks like my host took yesterday off for MLK day.

I hope to hear back from them today...

Mike, to answer your question:

MyWeb
... My Sub Web
... ... Directory
... ... ... All page and image files

Everything is in the directory (folder) in my sub-web. All of the pages, includes, etc. come up just fine except for the image.

I republished last night and nothing... so I rebuilt the image and replaced it... nothing.

Erin - this reminds me of a rollover button a couple months back, remember? :)

I sent my host another email (via their service req form) yesterday. I should hear back from them today... I hope.

Starting to get a bit anxious and antsy.

I posted this same question on my hosts forum, got pretty much the same replies. One of the members there took a copy of my source code, created the same scenerio on their website and was able to get it to work.

I' m hoping it' s something simple like a re-boot of the server...

WPB

but a trip to Disney brought her back"

Hi Bobby,

Did you try your page that has the problem from more than one computer or just one?

Does your Host have a DHCP server that gets refreshed in certain times?

I strongly feel that the image link can not see the image it is linked too.

Regards
Hisham

  		RE: image woes... SUCCESS!!! - 1/21/2003 13:56:17   
Success! I think...

I opened site live, right clicked the directory folder and checked the " allow files to be browsed" box... now it works just fine..?

Anyone know of any issues with setting that permission..?

Holy balut egg, Batman! I' ve never had this much trouble getting an image to display... [:j]

I' m just glad it' s done... :)

Thanks for all your help, everyone!

Now for database permissions on this folder (via the host) and I' m golden!
