Default Brower preview image issues... better solution? - 09-12-2005 , 03:36 PM






I was have the problem of my images not showing up on my linked pages when I
previewed my web site in my browser locally. (didnt always do this.. not sure
what happend) After doing some research I found an answer on Macromedias site.
However it requires going into the source of EVERY image and changing the
"relative to" from Document to Site.
Is there a master setting for this somewhere so it automatically does this?
AND is there a quick was I can now change this on all my pages I have created
without going into each image seperatly? I pasted the info from Macromedias
site below.
Thanks so much!
Nancy

Issue
When I press F12 to preview my page, my images do not show up. However, the
images show up in Dreamweaver, and in my page when it is live on the server

Reason
It is likely that you are using Site Root Relative paths for your images.
Browsers cannot understand site-root relative links when a document is
previewed locally on the hard disk.

Solution
Change the Src attribute for each image from Site Root Relative to Document
Relative. Unfortunately, you will have to manually change the source of each
image on your page to Document Relative.

Follow these steps to change the "Relative to..." setting to "Relative to
Document":

1 Place the mouse cursor on the image that is not showing up.
2 In the Property Inspector, click on the folder next to the Src field. (On
Macintosh the folder will be blue, on Windows it will be yellow).
3 Change the "Relative to..." setting to "Document" from "Site." This setting
can be found at the bottom of the Dialogue box.
4 Re-browse the path to your image.
5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 as needed for each image on your page.

See if the Relativity extension helps:

When you make a change from site to doc relative, the setting is sticky,
until you change it again - maybe that's what's happened.
