Dreamweaver Help

Hey,
i made a website with dreamweaver and i tried to upload it on to geocities but when i did the pictures didnt work. It worked fine when i previewed it in dreamweaver?

the image files may be set to files on your hard drive instead of web ready.

What I mean is instead of something like this ../image/whatever.jpg,
the files are linked like this C:/webpage/image/whatever.jpg

Check this, it happens sometimes with Dreamweaver, usually dreamweaver will catch it and solve this problem, but not always.

so how do i do this?

just open one of the web pages,

click on an image, and click properties,
In the properties box it will have a location of the file,

if it looks something close to this (C:/webpage/image/whatever.jpg)
you need to change it so it will be web ready, which will mean giving it a location without being exact. so it will look something like this (../image/whatever.jpg).

Hope this helps.

well i tried to load an image i dont know if it worked but i know what u mean but i cant seem to find a path when i click properties. There Width, Height, src but know path. theres link. But i had videoes on there to and i tried them but they dont work either? something im doin wrong. i just click the image button at the top and select source. I havent used dreamweaver in a while and ive kinda forgetton how to and im using MX.

You can also alter the code in the html section of Dreamweaver (the one that shows all the coding for the page in html). Just scan down the page looking for the path code which directs to places on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Files\File.avi) and replace them with the path to the uploaded file on the server (e.g. http://www.geocities.com/YouName/File.avi). You might be able to use search and replace or select the image switching to the code window to highlight the paths and make it a bit easier.

thanks for all your help guys it seems to work now. But i have another problem lol.
How do u add a counter to your site in dreamweaver? I tried it in geocities but it wrescked my page took away all the links, so anyone know how to do it on dreamweaver?

Try using a 3rd part counter (e.g one from bravenet.com or counter.bloke.com). Sign up and then paste the html code into the dreamweaver page (in html code window). They should work for geocities but you will have to put up with an add/link if you use them.

hey thanks man works great

If I were you, I would start looking for a new hosting provider, because Geocities aren't very good. :frusty:
