All of my images are missing!!

I have several links in a template. Each of these links has a rollover image,
and links to another page in the site. None of the images (neither the one that
initially displays, nor the one that displays as the mouse rolls over it) show
up. In place of the images, there are those dreaded little boxes with the "x"
es through them. However, when you click on where the images should be, the
links work properly. The final issue is that the rollover images work correctly
when I preview the document, but not when I upload the files to the server.

I would appreciate any help!!!!

By the way, the paths to the images are document relative.

Hi

We would need to see your code to discover why, without that is really
guess work.

Are you uploading the images to the server?

Can you post the URL?

The url is www.ccsecuritycorp.com

www.ccsecuritycorp.com
http://www.ccsecuritycorp.com/

There's something minor but totally wrong in the way the site is defined.

here's an image link from the index page, which is in the ROOT topmost level
of the public area:
<img src="../Images/topCorner.gif

That says "Go UP one folder level"
There is no up, it's already at the root level.

So- info about where you have defined this site to, please.

Is that index page in the Root level of your "local site folder" ?

Is the Images folder one level Above where the main index homepage is?

it's a minor bit of moving files, and changing the site definition. Waiting
for info on questions before giving exact steps to take.

Ok . . . here's the additional info about how I have the site defined:

The main index homepage (home.html) is not in the root level of the site
folder . . . it is inside a folder called HTML in the site folder.

The Images folder is another folder on the same level as the HTML folder that
contains the homepage and all other html pages in the site.

Altogether, I the hierarchy of the site is as follows:

Local Site Folder
-Buttons folder
-HTML folder
-Images folder
-Templates folder

There are no files, images, or buttons outside of these four folders, and
there are no additional folders inside any of these four folders.

The main index homepage (home.html) is not in the root level of the site
folder . . . it is inside a folder called HTML in the site folder.

The Images folder is another folder on the same level as the HTML folder that
contains the homepage and all other html pages in the site.

Altogether, I the hierarchy of the site is as follows:

Local Site Folder
-Buttons folder
-HTML folder
-Images folder
-Templates folder

This may get a little tricky, and require some link fixing and Find and
Replace when done, if the links are still broken.

To confirm something, before you do this-
When you connect with ftp and look in the REMOTE side of the F8 Site Manager
window- there is a folder there named HTML ?
And- it was already there- you didn't create it?
And- your "homepage" is inside of the HTML folder?

If the above is true- What you are looking at is your Private upper-level
login directory. You can store things there- but you can't make normal
links to anything there. All of your site files MUST go in the HTML folder.

Step A
With the site definition as it currently is:

in the Local Site of the Site Manager window-
1) drag the Buttons folder and drop it on the HTML folder.
Okay fixing links.

2) drag the Images folder and drop it on the HTML folder.
Okay fixing links.

in the Local Site of the Site Manager window-
3) drag the Templates folder and drop it on the HTML folder.
Okay fixing links.

Step B
connect to the remote site.
Delete these folders:
Buttons folder
Images folder
Templates folder
(this keeps them from taking up space in the Private folder)

Step 3
Now, go to that site definition, Remote info:
1) Change the "local Site Folder" from whatever root it is now, to the
"HTML" folder you just put all the site files into.

2) same pane, remote info:
in the "Host Directory" box, put that exact folder folder name in.
HTML

Connect to remote-
Is the "homepage" index file now in the root level of BOTH the local and
remote site?

Okay- Now, link check the entire site.
If the site is made with templates, suggest opening each template in turn,
and checking/fixing the links. Then finish with site wide links check.

then upload all the changed files.

Actually, I created the HTML folder that contains the homepage, and I also
created the other three folders.

My question at this point is: can I remove my homepage from the html folder,
so that it is the only file in the root level of the site, and not in any other
folders? And then, can I keep all of the other files where they are, and just
update links if necessary?

lets try again-

Where in your Local Site folder is this file:

aboutUs.html

Where is that file in the remote site?

That file is in the ROOT of your site.
http://www.ccsecuritycorp.com/aboutUs.html

It must be in the ROOT level of your local and remote site folders.

My previous comments were based on what you stated- IF what you said earlier
is true- that that page and the other .html pages are in a folder named
"HTML" then the site is defined to the wrong folders.

the changes i suggested will fix it.

IF What You Said Is True.

I cannot offer further advice-

Actually, I created the HTML folder that contains the homepage, and I also
created the other three folders.

My question at this point is: can I remove my homepage from the html folder,
so that it is the only file in the root level of the site, and not in any
other
folders? And then, can I keep all of the other files where they are, and just
update links if necessary?

Here's a different way of explaining what i suggested-

IF the index homepage is in a folder named HTML on the remote server, but
it comes up as http://yourdomain.com in a browser, THAT folder is the folder
for your site files.

by moving everything into the HTML folder,

then defining the LOCAL site folder to the HTML folder;

And putting HTML as the "host directory in the remote info;

it lines everything up so it's in the proper folder level to be seen.
Right now- as is- all your images and buttons are one level above your
public directory. They can't be seen.

There is no "up" from the "homepage" index file.
What's confusing sometimes to understand is that many server's have a
Private login directory. The "host directory" line in the remote info is to
accomodate that fact, and get things lined up.
