    Have you copied the image folder to a directory that is under the add-on domain or were you assuming that it would just find them?

    It can be done either way but it is simpler to just copy the image folder over.

    Yep. and they also show up at this: http://www.edoghelp.com/images/

    I really don't know what the problem is unless it is in the way the sever is configged. If you are using a script that might be the cause. It could also be a Dreamweaver issue.

    For sure if you change the following image calls, and all others on the site, to an absolute path it will work.
    <body>
    <div align="center">Free Online Dog Training Lessons</div>
    <table width="750" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <!-- fwtable fwsrc="top.png" fwbase="00000001.gif" fwstyle="Dreamweaver" fwdocid = "1937818219" fwnested="0" -->
      <tr>
        <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="388" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
        <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="355" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
        <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
        <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
    HTML:
    A single example:

    <td><img src="http://www.edoghelp.com/images/spacer.gif" width="388" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
    
    HTML:

    Since I might soon have the same problem, I will play around with this later and post anything I learn.

    BTW, you may wish to add an index.html file to each of your image directories to prevent people from browsing them. It can be blank or just have any message you like.

    hey,
    thanks for the help.

    I am using an absolute path now and its still not working

    (http://www.edoghelp.com/images/top_r2_c1.gif)

    i have also tried linking to http://www.thegodzilla.com/edoghelp/images/imagename.jpg

    i even tried linking to an image thats in the same folder as the index file

    very confused.

    my domain is with godaddy, i have only registered the domain 2 days ago.
    its just weird that everything works but the images dont show up.


    but if you type http://www.edoghelp.com/images/top_r2_c1.gif into the browser the image shows.. hmm

    actually no it doesnt

    i get

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /images/top_r2_c1.gif on this server.


    maybe you have to allow hot linking for this to work??
