Hi Folks

This new boy's needing help again!

I'm using DW8 to constructing a new site, and have been using a self made template for a most of the pages. This template contains the basic page outline, together with the navigation menu.

All was going well until I added my latest pages, and now I find that when I preview these in DW they show and work fine, but when I review the published page on the net, the menu is missing, and two of the images on the 'template' aren't showing.

I have reviwed and compared pages,and am having difficulty in finding out why this is happening, and any help would be appreciated.

Example pages are as follows http://www.britainswalks.co.uk/c2c_phil_comments.html (problem page), and http://www.britainswalks.co.uk/c2c_intro.html (ok page).

umm you need to change the path of the images...

Yes, really, you have references like this:

"file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Barry/My%20Documents/Barry/Coast%20to%20Coast%202/stm31.js">

and
<img src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Barry/My%20Documents/Barry/Coast%20to%20Coast%202/images/c2c_masthead2.jpg" alt="masthead picture" width="800" height="190" />

That's just not going to work

For example.
In CODE just change

This:
<td colspan="4"><img src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Barry/My%20Documents/Barry/Coast%20to%20Coast%202/images/c2c_masthead2.jpg" alt="masthead picture" width="800" height="190" /></td>

With:
<td colspan="4"><img src="http://www.britainswalks.co.uk/images/c2c_masthead2.jpg" alt="masthead picture" width="800" height="190" /></td>

And do this for all other images and it should work.

Actually, as long as he's referencing files on HIS domain, there is no need to use the full 'http://................', just

<img src=/images/c2c_masthead2.jpg"

would be sufficient.

Thanks for the replies folks. I changed my references in the template as LNR advised , which then updated all my linked pages as you would expect, BUT after this the references on the problem pages were still the same as before, i.e.

"file:///C|/Documents%20.............etc.

The other pages had the correct referencing of

<img src=/images/c2c_masthead2.jpg" etc

To check, I then created a new page using the template, and the references had again changed as above. Once again, the basic template 'worked ok' in browser preview. I'm really confused now.

Any further ideas please?

Ok, you need to set up the site management in DW and you need to set your links to be RELATIVE to the current page. Once you set up the site in Site Manager, and set the links to relative, this should fix the problem.

Heh, i had the same problem with my first site...ended-up i had to rebuilt...

Yeah, like what LadynRed said, just go to site >> new site hit the advanced tab and locate the files...

I think accually dreamweaver might re-path it for you...don't hold me to that though...

At last, the problem is overcome.
Following the last posts from LadynRed and vkw91 I changed the referencing and rebuilt the pages.

Thanks for all of the help folks, it's great that people like myself who are learning and have problems can come here and get such a sympathetic ear and useful advice.

Glad it worked

Sorry, incorrect post.
