loaded up dreamweaver today to do a little bit of work on the website.. for some reason all the images are broken and won't show up i haven't changed the names or moved them anywhere i don't know what has happened.. any advice?

saltedm8

there could be many reasons for this..

some of which include that the image roots are pointing to your computer and not a folder with your website and images in it

it should be

foldername/websitehtmlfiles/images

for example

foldername/images/myimage.jpg

check that, if not, post the code and ask in the General Development Issues forum, you would be more likely to get a reply rather than asking in the introduction forums

Also make sure you also have your CSS loaded into Dreamweaver because HTML alone won't show images unless accompanied with CSS. ;)

:EDIT: HTML will display images if the file path is in the HTML but if its CSS based then you need to add the Stylesheet to Dreamweaver. :END EDIT:

What are you talking about? Plain HTML displays images fine.

Make sure your paths aren't absolute. (If they start with a '/' they are)

Only if the images you are trying to display are css background images. If they are images required as part of the design then they should be included in the body of the html and should be showing.

As a few others have mentioned, the first thing to check is the reference in the HTML - is this correct? then check to see if the images are located in the folder you are referencing.

You can also check to see if you have a valid doctype included. It's a small thing, but can make the world of difference.

Finally, check your site definition to ensure this has been set correctly, as this can cause some issue.

Can I ask how you are trying to view the page? Is this via a web browser or within dreamweavers "design" view - if you are using the design view, then I would suggest hitting F12 and looking at it through a web browser.

What I mean is if the images are in the CSS. Sorry I didn't explain myself properly. I was just saying that if they are CSS based then he needs to make sure that the CSS is also in Dreamweaver for the images to display.
