Building a Web Page

ND_all_the_way · Dec 3, 2007

This is probably a dumb question, but I just can't figure this out. I'm coding a web site for my Computer Science course and the images I've added never load when I preview the .html file. I have the right html instruction and my source is just the folder and jpg file on my computer. Can anyone help me out with this?

I've seen this happen before when hand-coding HTML. In my case, I didn't match the case correctly of the image file names. Some web servers are case-sensitive, so make sure your stated paths match the actual case of the files. Just a guess....

What browser are you using to preview your page?

Is the index.html file in the same location as the images?

Can you attach your index.html file as a .txt to a post so we can get a better idea of how you have it set up?

Sometimes when I apply css background-image I have real troubles getting them to show up while testing on my hardrive.

Although, I suspect your file path is fudged.

Trying prepending the path with "file:"

use relative paths, and make sure the case is correct everywhere. something like:

src="../media/pHoTo.JPEG"
