jman05

I have my server and everything up and have my images in the default folder like it said but they wont show up in my preview when I added them from there. The default image folder is in my local directory. Am I supposed to have these in the www server directory to in my server? Thats all I can think of. Maybe they need to be uploaded to my server?

If I'm not mistaken, the preview is a preview of the local files (if you're talking about design view, and not actually viewing in the browser). If so, that would mean the image file would need to be in the local folder.

I don't use design view, I just use F12 (or select a browser from the menu) to preview in the browser, from the server, after uploading the file(s). Design view is not an accurate representation, anyway.

Well I am using the f12. So then it is from the server and I would need the files on the server and not in my local dir.? So do I need them in my www server folder?

Sure, the files have to be on the server. When you're serving a page from the server it doesn't know diddly-squat about your local files or Dreamweaver.

You need the files in a place they can be found. Your URL path to the images has to match where the files are. I usually (not always) put mine in an 'images' folder directly under www.

If you can't figure this out, show some code.
