Cell Backround Images

[MaddogMcG]

I've trolled through the various groups and have found nothing that
clears the following problem up.

I have a few pages where when viewed in the browser IE.5 of Firefox
not show the gif
background images in some of the cells, the images and cells are
100x150 pixels some show some do not, I have checked and the images are
in the /Images dir on the server and the html points to the correct
location, Anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions. The
Gifs are not Transparent and it previews fine in FP-2002. Its beyond
frustrating I've torn the site down twice and started from scratch buy
with no change in the result. Any help would be greatly appreciated


Thanks Derek

issues

I don't know how much I can help, but the code on the first reference had this (in part)
<tr>
<td valign="top" height="150" width="88" background="images/nl-dulce-close.gif">&nbsp;</td>

So I looked for: http://www.walkonthemoon.com/images/nl-dulce.close.gif
and I got "Page not found". The same happens for http://www.walkonthemoon.com/Images/nl-dulce.close.gif

This indicates that this file has not been uploaded to http://www.walkonthemoon.com/images/ or http://www.walkonthemoon.com/Images/

So I guess the problem now is to find out why.

I note this statementBTW, the html points to the images directory, not to the Images directory)

Exactly what directory are they in?
If they are not in http://www.walkonthemoon.com/images/ (which is what the html points to), then they will not be found.

Either you or I has looked in the wrong directory.

Thanks Trevor but the Image path was "images/nl-dulce-close.gif" as you
stated but the path you searched for is images/nl-dulce.close.gif with
period before the word "close" not a dash But you are right I had
removed the dashed to try and see if that was the cause and had not
updated the site its now "images/nldulceclose.gif". An example of the
problem would be
www.walkonthemoon.com/images/NLEasternphilosophyclose.gif which shows
up fine but the page that references it to a cell is not showing the
image. http://www.walkonthemoon.com/WOTM_Product-Necklaces01.htm Not
sure What I did but that first image nldulceclose.gif without the
dashes is showing up now but none of the others. Anyhow I got to go to
bed its doing my head in...

Thanks

Whoops. Mea Culpa.

However, this time I think I got it right

The code is
<tr>
<td valign="top" height="150" width="88" background="images/NLdulceclose.gif">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" height="190" width="20" rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" height="150" width="88" background="images/nleasternphilosophyclose.gif">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" height="190" width="19" rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td>

The reference is to images/nleasternphilosophyclose.gif so I cut this and pasted it into the address bar as
http://www.walkonthemoon.com/images/nleasternphilosophyclose.gif
This gives a 404 File not found

http://www.walkonthemoon.com/images/NLEasternphilosophyclose.gif
does the same

So it is still the same problem. You can sleep on it - only 17:20 here in Australia. Maybe a solution will come tomorrow.

Can you log onto the site and display the contents of the directories and check that way?
FrontPage will do this. Another way is with IE, which displays a remote site as if it were just another directory on the local
disk - of course, you need the site password to do this.

Arrrgh It was a CASE sensitive issue I had renamed the files from
nl-d******.gif to NL-D*****,gif in front page but it did not update the
cell image data... Thx Trevor your reply put me on the right path got
me thinking about inconsistencies in the file name... one for the
books.. have a great evening I should be back up an running tomorrow..

Thx

Derek
