I have built a web-site using Dreamweaver and i'm trying to upload it onto my freewebs account. I upload the htmls and all the images etc but they have to be done indivdually because I am not a premium user. For some reason only the text loads with no template when i preview the site :swt: Any ideas??? Thanks in advance, Matt :good:
 
This would be because you havn't uploaded your images to the right location - check the locations of where the images are trying to load from in the html then amend them, as they may be trying to load from example:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserXXX\My Documents\My Pictures\xxx.jpg
when your website might be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserXXX\Website\
 
Can't belive I didn't think of that. Cheers, i'll try it in a bit. I'm not too sure about what to change the links to though...
 
I have the images up but there is still no background, so it is white. The boxes etc also involved in the template are not up. I understand i'm being quite vague but any help is appreicated.
 
This site, did you design it from a premade template?

When you saved it, two files should have been created, an index.html file, and a folder called images.

Going back to what PX said, it is likely in the code the img tags have the wrong link on them. So if the images have been uploaded into your Images Directory, which they should have by default, then the code will need to read "images/picture1.jpg" for example.

Can you print a screenshot, or give us a link to the site so we can see what it looks like, then we can help work out if its the coding or whatever.
 
In dreamweaver, I think when you click an image it should show the properties box and in design/code it will show you the code for that object. Then all it takes is changing the img ref.

I have the images up
Click to expand...

Yes Waffle, it was a pre-made template. I have managed to change all of the coding so the images are found now but the template itself will not come up. E.g. The text in the nav bar appears but there are no graphics for the nav bar. I uploaded all the images and Index.html, also some other files called swap.js and style.css. I only uploaded these to see if it made any difference. I'll get to work on posting the code so you can see if there's something wrong. Cheers, Matt

**Edit** And when i do post the code, you'll probly be a bit confused by the content... You'll understand when the site is up and running :chk:
 
This is the code on the homepage (ignore links) :
