I build the site using Dreamweaver and have the html_file and images file in my docs.When i add images the location URL is C://my documents/images but when i upload it to my webspace the website still tries to locate the images from the C://my documents/images location but they arent there any more.

Where am i going wrong?

Goto site files (F8) and create a site. Unless you've done this already?

If you create a site then dreamweaver should map all images relevant to the site, not the document.

I've created a site like you said.Now the src of the image is

../images/topbanner.jpg

Does that seem correct?

mykp

Thats how it should be, if you upload that then it should work.

mike

if not pm me the url and i'll look at it.

Q2.

How do you find the size of a newly created cell.If you make a table of 4 rows/4 columns but want to find the size of a cell how do you do it?

mykp

depends on the size of the table.

There are two types of table/cell widths in HTML, relative and absolute. Relative is a percentage of the table width, ie if the table is 760 pixels and you have 4 cells they should be 190 pixels each. however if the table is 100% of the page width then the cells are 25% of the width of the page.

Absolute is the same but you have to specify the width of the table and the cells. Ie the table is 760 pixels wide and each cell is 190 wide.

You cant get DW to return the width of a cell, you have to tell it!

hope I havent made that to complex?

Thanks Mike.

The reason i want to know the cell size is i have lots of images on the home page.I like to put them in cells.I create a table and then need to know what size the cell is to adjust the image before i insert it. I thought there might be something like "right-click-show cell size" or something.

mykp

you should make the table cells match the image not the other way round, Have a look at the scoobysmacs site and then have a look at the gallery. the thumbnails are all 145 pixels wide, click on them and they you get the big view.

I'll try that.
