Preface: I am a complete novice at Web design, other than dinking with code on a blog template. I am trying to design a Web site using Dreamweaver MX 2004.
The first few times I worked on the pages, I could preview them and things looked fine. However, I have recently added images to two pages, and when I preview those pages the images do not show up. The images are being placed within tables, though I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I have done the same thing with all the images: Taken them into Photshop, saved them for web and shrunk the size down to about 600 pixels wide. I have put a copy of the web images into the main folder for my web files. I'm a little perplexed and would appreciate any help.

Re: newbie DWMX2004 question - images won't show

Wed, March 28, 2007 - 11:17 AMI will try uploading them later today to see if that changes it. It doesn't make sense to me, though, because the first batch of pictures I uploaded showed up in the preview function. It's only the later pictures that aren't showing up. -

Re: newbie DWMX2004 question - images won't show
Wed, July 4, 2007 - 2:35 PMActually, Dreamweaver will display images on a web page that have not been uploaded to a server.
It creates a temporary file that is sent to the local browser when you select 'preview in browser' from the 'File' menu.
If you can't see your image in the design view of your page in Dreamweaver, then be sure that you haven't
accidentally deleted the image file or moved it to another location. -

Mon, July 23, 2007 - 4:27 PMI found that the program was putting a / before the name of the pictures. When I removed all of them, the images showed up just fine.
