I'm just a beginner and I feel like this has a really obvious fix, haha. I used Adobe Dreamweaver to create a basic layout for my website. Using go daddy's webhosting, I uploaded the html pages using the FTP file manager and checked out the result. All of the text appears fine, and all of the links work, but the design isn't there. It's just text on a white background. I know this is a terrible description but does anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Thanks!
May be all your images are referenced to your local HDD. Upload images to server and change location path.
All right, I uploaded the images to the server, but how would I change the location path so they show up on the page? Sorry, newbie here!
Alright, let me try & break this down for you. View attachment 62506 Consider this, if you have the above file/folder structure, where you have your images in a "images" folder and using it either in the index.html or style.css. Then in the HTML you do this: <img src="images/sample-image1.png" alt=""> Code (markup): Or in the CSS you do this: #block { background: url(images/sample-image1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; } Code (markup): So here you are providing the relative path of the image in the HTML or CSS file. View attachment 62507 Another scenario, if you have the above file/folder structure, where images go into "images" folder and the CSS stylesheet file is in its own "css" folder and you are using the image in your CSS, then you do this: #block { background: url([B]../[/B]images/sample-image1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; } Code (markup): Notice the ../ above. That says "go one level up to the parent folder of this current folder which is "css", and then descend into the "images" folder to find the required image. Now did it help drive the point home or did I confuse you even more?
