Help wanted on images folder.

[kneelsit]

I have a question which I hope some expert techie here might answer. PLEASE.
Just recently set up an images folder on my site and laboriously copied over all my gifs and jpgs to it then went through and amended all the img src tags to read
[img]images/widget.jpg[/img]
checked in the review/browser of my html editor and all seemed fine. Sent them up by FTP and checked online and find that only the small gifs at the bottom of the page were appearing while all my main pics did not show.
So a long laborious process of going back and putting those jpgs back into the main folder and changing the code back again.

I am at my wits end trying to figure out why this is happening.

This is probably going to sound like the obvious, but I like to start with the obvious first.

Were all the files being put in a lower level images folder..i.,e. off the root directory? Have you checked that the pathways all read the correct path, with no variations in uppercase or lower case letters?

Also, just a tip... it's a good idea to have a plain index file in your /images/ directory. Just a safe guard to protecting your back door. I noticed you didnt have one when I was looking at your images directory.

If you have checked all the above, let us know so we know where to look at from there.

Cindy's quite right to start off with the basics on a problem like this.. it's often something pretty rudimentary, although it can seem quite baffling at the time! One thing I noticed immediately from looking at your source code was that you're referencing a local file which I imagine is stored on your PC (see below)
background-image: url(file:///C:/knlst/bground.jpg);

whereas the the file's actual location on your site is here - http://www.kneelsit.com/bground.jpg

Try adjusting your code accordingly, and see if this improves matters.

Let's start with something even more ruda…rudamen…what he said. Could it be something as simple as force-refreshing the page?

This problem reminds me why I enjoy working with GoLive. When you change the location of items, GoLive automatically goes through the site and relinks everything related.

I shall step off my soap box now.
