I am having touble getting images that I created for a page header in photoshop and illustrator (cs) to appear in DWMX without getting a cracked simble in place of my image. I look at the code to check to see if it is written correctly but that haven't revealed any clues. Can some one please help.

two things to look for...

are the image paths correct in the <a href="path/to/image.gif" tag?

have you uploaded the images to the correct location on your web site?

You need to define a site

Ok. My site is awilled.com. I've created a logo for the site in Illustrator, then transfered it to Photoshop to save it as .jpg. But when I upload it to my site, or load it in DW it Cracks. This is the tag between the body tags:
<img src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Finesse%20Williams/my%20documents/my%20pictures/aslogo.jpg">
This is the way the tag appears in DW. I don't know how to get this site into DW. I had someone do the site for me. I will upload the image on the site so you can look at the code.

The source is pointing to your local computer (ie - your computer in your "my documents" folder).

The image needs to be set to either an absolute path to your web server, or a relative path:

Absolute:
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/images/aslogo.jpg">
 
or Relative to the viewing html page:
<img src="images/aslogo.jpg">

So if I change the code to a relative path, excluding my hard drive path, stating the file, will this work?

- Only if the image is located in the same directory of the html page

Thanks Graphic, but i changed the code to a relative path and I'm still getting the cracked image. How do Ii pull down pages on the web into Dreamwaever?

I don't know dreamweaver myself, but here is a guide:

Let's say you html page is located:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html
 
And your image is located:
http://www.mydomain.com/images/aslogo.jpg
 
The image src would point to:
<img src="images/aslogo.jpg">
 
--------------------------
 
But if your html page is located:
http://www.mydomain.com/somewhere/index.html
 
And your image is located:
http://www.mydomain.com/images/aslogo.jpg
 
You would have to point backwards (../) to the parent directory to find the image directory:
<img src="../images/aslogo.jpg">

Okay... is your computer that your using dreamweaver on set up to run as a web server (IIS)? If so, it would save you soooo much time to "define a site" in dreamweaver. Even if you dont have your machine set up with IIS, you need to define a site. This will eliminate the garbled source paths in the code. If you need help defining your site, check out this link.

Good luck

how do I get my computer set up on IIS? These images are being created in illustrator. I don't know if its the programs not jelling or what.

THE IMAGES IS LOCATED ON MY COMPUTER. I also paid some to build and host a site for me: aswilled.com. And this is where I want to place the image. I can't get to the code for this site. I don't know if I could pull it into DW.

The path to your image must be that of the path on the server where your site is hosted. What you have to do on YOUR computer is make sure that your web site structure is EXACTLY the same as what's on your host server. Then as mentioned above, in DW, define your site and tell it where your default images folder for the site is. Once you have this exact duplicate on your machine and the site defined in DW, when you upload your pages to your hosting server the paths to images and other pages should not break.

It's not necessary to set up IIS on your machine for this.
