I am just creating this page. It is my first time doing this other than my blog. I have uploaded my webpage that I created using Trellian WebPage creator. Anyways my question is why arent my pictures showing? They are 1 is a jpg,another is a bmp and the last is a gif. Is there something I am missing? I know I uploaded them when I did my file transfer.

I am unable to access your sub-folders, http://earth.prohosting.com/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/ There could be a couple of things if the folders are correct. Your host doesn't like spaces, (%20 character), your folder names may also be in the wrong case, my documents instead of My Documents

It appears you have an error in your URL for the photos:

http://earth.prohosting.com/Iraqi_War_Ve_29540.gif

Should be:

http://earth.prohosting.com/iraqvet/Iraqi_War_Ve_29540.gif

The address you're linking to is
http://earth.prohosting.com/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Chris/chris2.JPG

My experience with the picture not showing was with the link being created on my own PC was in the html as on my C: drive. Make sure the <img src="... command is looking to the directory where you uploaded the pics.

[aft_lizard]

ok thanks, I will delete all of it then reupload everything, it might be because I had the wrong name initially for my index page.

Are you getting any error? OR is it displaying after a delay? It's been my (limited) experience that .bmp and .gif files take 2 to 3 times more to load than a jpg. Check the source URL address to be sure you don't have typos, and are going to the correct location. Also, are there any limitations to your allotted web page size? Are you surpassing some limit?

The link to your first image is:
http://earth.prohosting.com/iraqvet/..%5CIraqi_War_Ve_29540.gif

That's not where the picture is located.

Try:
http://earth.prohosting.com/iraqvet/Iraqi_War_Ve_29540.gif

Also, try to save all non-animated images in .jpg format, not bmp.

The filepaths for the photos point to directories on your computer, {My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/ }, when they should be pointing to a directory on the hosting computer.

Might want to cut back on the text a little, too.

[So Cal Rocket]

You don't need to upload them again... just point the URL to the correct file.

[aft_lizard]

no dice. I reuploaded everything and it still has the same link to the pictures.

[mnehring]

Did you change your file names so you would not have any spaces, and then correct the URL direct?

I will go and look again at this.

I don't know that bmps show up in html. Just use jpgs for photographs, and gifs for drawings, cartoons, web buttons, backgrounds, etc.

[aft_lizard]

do i do that in the html coding?

[rabidralph]

make sure that your pictures are listed as <img src="filename.jpg" and with the closing tag. If your images are in a separate folder, you have to include that folder's name in the img src name: <img src="photos/filename.jpg" close the tag.

[So Cal Rocket]

Yes... where you are calling up the images... with the < img > tags

[aft_lizard]

ok I did that in the coding and it still doesnt come up, they are all uploaded to the same folder and I changed the code to match the change and they still dont show up

[So Cal Rocket]

The one titled "Chris.jpg" is showing up
