    what hosting do you have?
    Do you use a program of any sort? Filezilla for example?

    There is no need for a database by the way.

    the images are uploaded just like the website pages. most likely you are not using the correct path for the images - have a look and try to upload the images in the same relative path and it should work :)

    how would you know which is the correct path? htm? Okay, lets say, I wanted to upload a website to my domain (straight with no directories) after I click on public_htm, then I just upload the files there?

    yes, if the path in the html pages is the same directory of the images, you just upload the files and the images to public_html folder

    give us more detail, is your website up at all.
    For example you can create a folder and name it images. post all your pictures in there.
    You can then use:
    <img src="images/insert pic name.jpg" alt="pic description" />
    to show it on the particular page.

    no, my website isn't up yet. I was just testing it out just to make sure. I did that once where I put the all the image in one folder that I wanted to show on that specific website and put in the same place as the index.htm put still wouldn't show up. And I don't understand where you'll put that code.

    Yang, if you need assistance... drop me a message on my yahoo messenger. I can remember the days where I couldn't find a single person but a book to teach me. It's very frustrating

    I bet you $100 that he is using frontpage and has the image path directed to his hardrive - something like:

    c:/mydocuments/mypictures/picture.jpg or something similar.

    Yang you should just use 'picture.jpg' only if your picture is to be stored in the same folder online as the page that contains it.

    Presumably when you built the page on your PC you went to insert image and then 'browsed' your hard drive for the image. You need to change the image path as above.

    that was what i was thinking too
    dont use c:\ in your path, cause it wont work. never, unless its on an iis server. but it is not

    so remove everything beside the foldername and filename
