Hosting Help???

cyberwit

I am trying to host a website i developed i have a structure as follows html pages a folder for my images and a folder for my documents except when i try to put the site on the server using ftp the pages show but none of images

here is a typical image tag

<a href="index.html"><img src="images/homepage.png" width="55" height="50" alt="Homepage">

You need to end the image tag. Also, you have to end the anchor tag

<a href="index.html"><img src="images/homepage.png" width="55" height="50" alt="Homepage" /></a>

what he said .. and also make sure that your FTP program uplaoded the images folder (and not just the contents of the images folder to the root folder, not creating any images folder). A URL would help as well!

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\HCI Web Project2

My web project above

When i paste the contents of said folder into using ftp the sites show except for images

I have developed website before but now i have to organises the hosting
url of site is

http://members.upc.ie/

will i have to change the image source in the image tag and to what

2 things..

1) Your screenshot shows an empty FTP space, what does it look like after copying it over.
2) You haven't given us a proper URL, so we can't see your site (to be able to tell you what you need to edit your images tags to).

So, make sure that when you copy over your files/folders, that that FTP folder (which you've attached a screenshot of) contians an "images" folder, and if you go in there you see your image files.

It might just be a permissions problem, but I can't be sure from what you've posted so far.

You still haven't closed your tags.

<img src="image.png" />
<a href="#"><img src="image.png" /></a>

Neither with <center></center> (although i'm not sure it's web standards to use that tag anymore)

Thanks have made change to some of the pages however does not change the fact my images are missing

cgarvey

<img> tags are not the problem (yet anyway!).

In the images folder, within your FTP folder (as you've attached), does skip.jpg exist? Is it exactly that name, and not some other spelling, or some other case (e.g. Skip.jpg), or some other format (e.g. skip.png)?

Your HTML is referencing skip.jpg but the web server is reporting it can't find it (and it's usually right, so we just need to find out why).

If all that is double dutch, just double click on the images folder in the FTP folder you've attached a screenshot of, and we should be able to tell you the problem then!

It not only the skip button their is alot of images on the site not showing and its skip.jpg

Common enough issue, OP. Essentially means that it's hosted on UNIX, rather than Windows.

Windows : filename.jpg = filename.JPG (and every other variation)
UNIX : filename.jpg & filename.JPG are two different files

General approach is to have all filenames lowercase, where possible; that avoids the problem.
