Dreamweaver help!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532) 4 years ago

I need help from anyone who is familiar with dreamweaver. I'm trying to create a web page for school, and I'm having some issues I can't fix. Anyone knowledgeable in dreamweaver who might be able to help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Problem 1

My images are broken, and I can't fix them. I have tried onnline tutorials and the help feature in dreamweaver, and I'm still not able to fix them.

Problem 2

I got this feedback from my instructor and I don't know what it means:

your subfolder has spaces. If you want to have a subfolder with multiple letters, you need to use underscores. For example “this _is_my”

HELP!!

Sorry I cannot help you D, I have never heard of Dreamweaver.

I just called in to say,
Good Morning Sunshine.

I hope someone is able to give you some advice on how to fix your problem.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Hi Goodie! happy

I hope someone can help, too. I've been baffled about this for days!

How are you this morning?


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

I am well D.
Went to bed early as I had a big day of garderning, so am up early again.
More garderning this morning before the sun gets too hot.

Then "fingers crossed" hopefully I will be able to wash some of the tile's that were layed, so I can start moving furniture back.happy

I am a webdesigner but I don't work in Dreaweaver, I make my pages in Notepad. can you please tell me the prob in detail or mail your project to me and I can help you complete it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Wow, thank you for the offer. How would I send it to you if you don't have dreamweaver? Should I just send you the code in a word document?

The first problem is that my photos don't display. When I go to preview the page in either firefox or IE, I can see them, but once I try to open it independently, they are not viewable.

The second problem is that I don't know what my instructor means by this below statement:

your subfolder has spaces. If you want to have a subfolder with multiple letters, you need to use underscores. For example “this _is_my”

I've used Dreamweaver. Did you try checking the links of the images? Sometimes it's a case of a possible typo. I may be able to help more on it. I think with folders, you have to have underscores because I don't think a web page can read it without them. Perhaps if need be, you want to send it to me to look at the pages and then I can give you a better answer? It's the least I can do to help. Try emailing me at brucebostwick@bostwickdesigns.com. I have free time to be able to help.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Thank you so much for the offer. I tried checking the link in a validator site, but what it said was wrong, didn't look wrong to me. I'm confused!

I will email you, thanks!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. babostwick (1704)   ranked 1,958 out of 13,139 in internet  4 years ago

No problem. I just sent you an email with the corrected page and a text document to help try to explain it to you. Like I said in my email, if I am unclear in any way, shape, or form, you can ask me and I will do my best to explain it in such a way that makes sense.

I know dreamweaver, but I'm more of a visual person when explaining and I don't have dreamweaver so I can't really help you. so I guess this was pointless :p

But yeah.

here's the best I can do, if you haven't already figured it out.

Say you have a photo in a folder called "My Stuff"
so your image is ...say "me.jpg"

your image is located at www.site.com/my_stuff/me.jpg

you have to make sure that your folder link is my_stuff because html doesn't register spaces in that sort of stuff.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Ohhhh.....that is helpful, thanks! Now, if I can figure out how to fix it. LOL

Thanks for visiting! :)


myLot reputation of 97/100. raychill (3485)   ranked 1,883 out of 13,139 in internet  4 years ago

Did you figure it out?

I taught myself HTML and Dreamweaver and everything else. But i'm really bad at explaining it to other people.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

No, I'm still having trouble. I keep making the changes everyone suggests, but nothing has worked so far.


myLot reputation of 97/100. raychill (3485)   ranked 1,883 out of 13,139 in internet  4 years ago

Thank you! That gave me a good laugh....LOL!

I'll check out the real link and see what it does, thanks! happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. raychill (3485)   ranked 1,883 out of 13,139 in internet  4 years ago

yeah it was that lovely copy and paste button failure.

I hope you figure it out!

I actually hated Dreamweaver and tried my best to never use it when I had to do it.

Perhaps you could get Gary Wright to help you, D.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

I don't know who that is, but I just looked him up and he lived two towns over from me in New Jersey....LOL.

Is he the guy who sang Dreamweaver???


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Yes, D, that's who he is. I bet he could help you since he's the expert as its creator.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Since he lived so close, I wonder if we knew some of the same people. Of course, he might be my parents age... And, he lived in the "ritzy" side of town....


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Thanks for the BR, D. I was really surprised that no one else was able to provide you with the measure of expertise that I was able to offer you in this field.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

I know....and what really surprised me is how much you knew on the subject. It wasn't something I thought you were knowledgable in. I should have given you more credit.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Yes, you should have given me more credit, D. I see that you attempted to do so in this BR, but, as you seem to realize, this is not enough. I guess that all you can do to give me the credit I deserve is to give me many many more Best Responses. After all, you know I'll deserve it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  4 years ago

Yes, of course you do deserve BR on 99.999% of the discussions you answer, but there is a whole community of myLotters here who try so hard. I hate for them to be discouraged because they feel they are living in your shadow.

Also, I am so worried about people thinking I'm playing favorites. I know I'm not....I mean, really...I know a BR when I see it. But not everyone might see it that way, and you know how I am about keeping peace.

The feed back sounds like there are unnoticed spaces in your image titles? I know in my computer's paint, you can leave spaces in the names of an image file.. but when I upload them somewhere, the site usually supplies the underscores, but_maybe_dreamweaver doesn't do this! Maybe if you rename the image file on your computer (in "my pictures"?) and put in the underscores yourself? Good Luck!cool
..seems like I tried dreamweaver years ago and found them too complicated for me, so I ended up at angelfire dot com, which is now called lycos dot com, I guess.. But they have templates and uploading images is easy.. or use some of theirs.. I have two websites with them, and have had them a few years now.. Good luck with your project.
