Image Placeholder

[slugraduate]

Hi.

Following the DW8 tutorial, I inserted an orange image placeholder. It shows up in DW, but not at all when I preview the document. Any idea why?

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to DT!

How are you previewing your page? On your local system? Try making sure your image links is pointing to the right place (i.e., relative and not absolute). If you're previewing it on a web server, make sure you've uploaded the file to the proper place and the code in your page reflects that place.

Thanks for the note. I am viewing locally. I am not sure what you mean by "Try making sure your image links is pointing to the right place (i.e., relative and not absolute)." I don't have a particular image, just the placeholder I am trying to use. How do I determine relative versus absolute?

Thank you.

where did you save that picture? Make sure its in a folder inside your website's folder. Then click on the picture and look at the HTML code. If the path of the image starts with a drive letter (ie, c:\users\My Documents\...) Then the path is absolute and will not work on a server. If the path starts with a slash or two dots (ie, ..\image\) then it is relative.
