Sup!

Are you browing the site locally? Do you get the little white box with the red cross?

w_s

if local, all works fine.

once uploaded to my webserver, no images.

Are you using a CMS i.e. Joomla?

Well, does the image files point to online or local files? That might be your problem?

I am sure they point to the files online. but i am pretty new to html so i cannot say for sure.

Use relative referencing.

"../images/picture1.jpg" for example. Don't use "http://mysite.com/images/picture1.jpg"

this is the code : is it right ?

<img alt="Black Windows" src="images/snc00067.jpg" style="width: 314px; height: 235px;" />

Looks OK, try adding ../ in front of images - this means that from the "root" folder of your site there is a directory called images.

tried, no luck, i wonder if something in my css style sheet is not causing the problem.

Is the style sheet in its own folder, i.e. "styles" ?

Can you maybe give us a treeview screenshot of the root folder?

Oh and make sure your capitalisation of names and files are corresponding in the code and on the server.

Give us the url to your webpage?

http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za is the website.

i have a test page that is working with jpegs, but i do not yet understand the why one works and the other not.

http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/test.htm

I have picked up another problem with the test page, in that on IE 6 & 7 the transparency around my logo and around the images that make up the frame of the black section do not work.

On my first page they do. I think this has something to do with the additional style information embedded within the actual test page code.

PS. i have modified another website that i liked in order to make this website. although i know some basics, there is code there that i have no idea what it does, and i have no idea on the effects of the code should i remove it.

The original website is a PC manufacturers website and it is copywrited so i am unsure of how much changes i need to make to make it my own. will i get into trouble by doing this ?

will supply the website i used if asked.

I have tried guessing the image address and opening it, but it says not found. Is your images directory readable?

I get some images on the index page though.

OK, you're committing some basics typos!

On the Products page you have a link to "http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/files/after.[b]jpeg[/b]". Looking at the files directory it's obvious it should be "http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/files/after.[b]jpg[/b]"

Same page - "http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/files/black.jpg" Black.jpg doesn't exist in the files directory?

Same page - "http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/files/black.jpg" Black.jpg doesn't exist in the files directory?

so, both are right in some way:

A: the images folder files folder are both readable.
B: i have fixed the page (windows) to point to the images folder and not the files folder

What i have found though is that the images names are to be in small letters including the JPG extension.

I can now see my images. whhooooo hooooo.....

done some work, now the windows and doors pages are working fine in opera and IE8, will have to wait till later to check other browsers.

Glad you got it sorted!

Thanks Guys for all the help. my website is now up and running and is working quite well, Except in ie 6 and ie 7
