I'm building my 1st website.<br />
On one of the pages there is space for 16 jpeg files.<br />
At present I only have five that I want to put up.<br />
I have ftp'd my site, everything is functional except none of the pictures show up (red cross).<br />
<br />
To see whether it was my pictures (taken with dig cam), I "borrowed" some off the net and tried using them.<br />
<br />
Now I have 11 "borrowed" pictures that show fine and my five that don't.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help - please.......<!--content-->Post a link to your site so we can take a look at your code.

Image 1000.jpg is a borrowed picture and 1001 is onr of my own ?<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?<!--content-->try hard coding the actual path<!--content-->?? What does that mean?<!--content-->Scrap this: ../../relative/folder/image.jpg<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Use this: /where/the/folder/really/is/image.jpg <br />
<br />
No dots at the front of the URL.<!--content-->most likely your directory structure changed slightly when you uploaded. Your using a relative path... or show me the picture in relation to where I'm standing right now. This will always break when you change dir structures. <br />
<br />
Using the fully qualified path ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlforums.com/images/avatars/electro.gif">http://www.htmlforums.com/images/avatars/electro.gif</a><!-- m --> ) is the preferred way. Then you can use a path off the root, like ( /images/avatars/electro.gif ) after. Test with all of them first.<!--content-->Thanks, tried all of that, but it didn't work.<br />
I just copied and pasted my pictures over the "borrowed" ones and that works fine.<br />

you have to make sure the file is 1000.jpg and not 1000.JPG.<br />
One thing to do is that when your ftp'ing into your site,there should be an option to upload files in small cases only.<!--content-->You'll probably find that the the pictures taken with the digicam have an extension all in caps when transfered to your hard drive.<!--content-->Originally Posted by FragaGeddon<br />

Ah - yes.<br />
<br />
This is a problem with non-MS servers - they are case-sensitive when it comes to filenames and folder paths.<br />

Caused me a bit of fun when i first tested on an MS server, and then moved onto a non-MS server.<!--content-->did u make sure that the 1000.jpg folder is in the images folder?<!--content-->
