Help editing in Dreamweaver

[Mr Bump]

Hi Just started using dreamweaver today, I'm trying to edit Act_Textandtitle seems fine except placing an image using this code:

<td><img src="golf%20shop/logos/myjoys1.jpg">&nbsp;</td>

but not picking the pic up. Is the path correct?

Thanks

That depends on the structure of the directory that the file's in. The current location suggests you have a folder called "golf shop", within which is another folder called "logos", within which is the image "myjoys1.jpg". If this is the case then there's no real reason as to why it shouldn't work.

None of the images I place using d/weaver have paths. If they are saved in Site1, you just need to point to image.gif or whatever, I think.

Nope that doesn't seem to work.

Where is the image relative to the file that you are editing?

[Mr Bump]

They are both in actinic site1

Make that - where is the image going to be relative to the published html file?

Remember that Actinic will upload all except the brochure entry page to /acatalog/ and that *sometimes* you need to copy an image into your PreviewHTML folder to see it in your offline previews.

Good point. Everything ought to be contained in your site's main folder for ease of updating and previewing. It makes it a pain to actually find the file, but it keeps Actinic happy.

Every now and then we get 'shy' images - we can usually coax them out by putting them in additional files (Advanced | Additional Files).

Thanks to everyone,
I've tried all the suggestions even published the site.
The only way I can get it to work is by using this:

<td><img src="file:///C|/Program%20Files/Actinic%20v7/Sites/Site1/golf%20shop/Cobra/prodDrivImg_x460a.jpg" width="200" height="148">&nbsp;</td>

Unless you are on a Windows server and have Actinic Programme files loaded on your server, the only person who will see an image with a path like that will be the one using your machine.

If you move prodDrivImg_x460a.jpg into Site 1 directly, then anyone who visits the published website will see it.

[Mr Bump]

Ok sorry thats fixed it.

Thanks

Couldn't help noticing that you are using jpg files for your images - these can be abit big hence slow to load - if you are using photoshop maybe 'save for web' as a gif image, which will be smaller and faster to load.

I only mention this because it took me ages to convert all my jpgs to gifs after I thought my site was finished (not that they ever are), when someone pointed out the error of my ways.

Not so sure, that image above as a gif 64 colours 5.69k and as a high quality jpeg 3.334k.

Am I missing something?
