I finished up my web page recently and it isn't really much but it was an achievment for me being that I'm a total newbie. I hope to totally redo it once I've learned more. Anyway, on to my question.

I finished the page, uploaded it and thought I was thru. A couple days later, I thought I should visit the page using Netscape just to see how it looked. Obviously, I should have done this before, but being new at this...... I was shocked to see that none of my graphics showed up in Netscape? Absolutly none of them. I'm using Communicator 4.79. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong and how to fix it?

Here is my site: http://applebyoutdoors.com

Try referring to your images with a %20 in place of a space.

ie: "misc%20images" instead of "misc images"


Its typically better to name and refer to your files using underscores instead of spaces.

Thanks for the help ZA. Not to sound like a fool but why use "%20"? Could I use something else? Just curious.

Also, if I just renamed the foldes and files without spaces or with the underscore as you mentioned, would that work? thanks

Not sure, exactly why you have to use "%20"s. It might have to do with how the windows OS handles spacing (a space separates different parameters -- example: "attrib C:\Windows\file.dat -h" )

If you renamed the folders and files to have underscores, as well as the file references, it will work. Thats just my preference, though.

Thanks again ZA! Since my site is pretty small I just renamed the folder to "MiscGraphics" and then fixed the references to it in my code. Uploaded the new pages and BAM, it worked like a charm!

Thank you very much for the quick and knowledgable help. I'd have never figured that out on my own. Thanks again.:D

Good you renamed it, don't use spaces in file names or folders.
