Web Design Help?

[graphic clio]

hello there,

Just designed my first static web page in dreamweaver 2004 on my power mac g5, uploaded my images in managable jpeg format wich work fine to view on safari but throw up a blank box if viewed on a PC using explora, why is this? please help

You sure it's uploaded properly and you're not just viewing cached images in Safari?

a have viewed it on another mac at work, and that is fine, does that mean that the jpegs are uploaded properly?

ps this is my first ever web page

Can't really go wrong with uploading files. If you can view them, then they have been uploaded.

I haven't got IE but if you have a link I'll take a look.

The image “http://www.flairdesigns.co.uk/flairlogo.ai.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

That's firefox.

Can you try removing the . and replacing it with an _ ?

i.e. flairlogo_ai.jpg

It displays fine in Konqueror so I'm guessing it's how the browser handles file names.

al give that a bash, tonight thanks for your help.

Another tip. Don't put Images (flairlogo.ai.jpg) in your root, create a sub directory and path them, this makes it easier to manage.

I agree ^^ though "flairlogo.ai.jpg" as not a correct name, get rid of the . and replace with _ flairlogo_ai.jpg or something.

Another thing, on the pink book page, the source says your image is called "pink%20book.jpg" this has a space in it (%20). Don't put spaces in file names.

Try to limit the size of your pages to a common size such as 800x600. And don't use frames (though I can see you haven't)

...a few tips there!

Na, it's not the file name. I just downloaded it, renamed it but FF still gives the same error.

Edit: Strange, I opened your image in The Gimp and it's blue, not the colours you have it(?) Also when I re-saved it, it now works.

Apart from the colours changing I cannot see any difference between the 2 images.

Seen a post on the same issue, apparently in Photoshop (your meta info says you are using photoshop) you need to choose "Save for Web" instead of just "Save".

cant see an image when i view it in IE7.

Dont use spaces in file names, ever, if you want to create a space between works in the filename then use an under score _ as said above.

and put all images in a sub folder, named images.

basically, what everyone said above

As per my reply a few posts back, renaming it won't fix the problem

Make sure you've uploaded the image in the right format. Should make sure you've uploaded the images as binary, not ascii
