I have uploaded a picture file (jpg) into webs and it appears underneath the index.html.

How do i get it onto my web site or make the index page point to it.

Hi Neil

Have you figured out how to upload your pics yet cos i havent!!!! ive never seen anything so complicated in my life. my website has uploaded but when i try and upload my pics separately, they seem to disappear off somewhere and are not listed under Web.

I havent got a clue what to do next. Any suggestions?

I've got the same problem here . . . I cannot for the life of me, figure out how to make the picture a part of my index.html file. I want a variet of pictures to appear on this page and I have uploaded all of them into web/images, but I do not know how to connect them to my index.html (home page). Currently it appears as a blank box with a red "x" in the upper lefthand corner.

If you have figured out how to do this yet, I would love to hear, or if anyone else who reads this post, please respond!! Thank you!

hi aeb

let me assure you, there will be bigger problems than how to link your image files coming your way, im trying to solve even more complicated problems and its giving me a headache!

Basically, you have to upload your image files to the server and make sure that your HTML coding points to each of the images you want to display. You cant just send it all over as a web page because images are files in their own right and have to be uploaded alongside your webpage which names them in the designated part of the page.

For an example, go to www.nd-cad.co.uk (one of my websites) and then right click on the mouse and choose View Source to see the page in HTML format. Then where the photographs are, you will see that they are named EXACTLY how the image files are named (you have to use the correct upper or lower casing and spaces etc etc for it to display the image).

Good Luck

Abi,

Thank you very much for providing the information you did . . . that really did shed a light on what I needed to do, however, I did run into more problems (hey, didn't you say that?!) and I still need some help.

I created my webpage with MS Word, which writes its own html. When you go to edit the html, it is really crazy and something I still could not figure out. I tried various ways, and used your website as an example to compare, but it still didn't display the pictures on the web.

What my assumption is that I need to create a subdirectory in fileman for each page I upload, ie: index_files file folder will need to be created for the index.html file. This will then hold the images that Microsoft Word automatically sets up a sub-directory for.

Would anyone have any ideas on how to create a subdirectory or new file in fileman that works? I tried, but the icon next to the file I created had a question makr next to it and didn't do anything.

Thanks!!

Hi Anne,

You might find this link helpful: http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/primers/basics.html

Your index.html file will need to go in your public_html or www directory. The name of the directory really depends on how your host has the web server configured. You can put your images just about anywhere you want for the most part but I like to keep them all together in an images directory to keep everything organized. When you want to link to the image, you would use an image tag like this:


The src attribute is the one that you would use to "point" to your image. You can use either relative paths, like I have above, or the full url to the image. The url for that image would be http://www.mywebsite.com/images/dev-null.gif. This image tag will be looking for the image in a dir named images inside of my public_html directory.

I hope that clears it up a little for you.

Charlie

To All . . . thank you so much for all of your help. I finally figured out how to create a subdirectory and now everything is correct! I'm so excited!

Thank you all so much!
