Website Images searching for images on computer, not server.

#1 Post by noctolater » 2008-11-13 22:24

The issue that my whole class is experiencing is that we have uploaded websites through filezilla and some of the images work, but some of them don't. The html in the page source is still looking for the images on the flash drive or desktop of the computer it was uploaded from on the images that don't work.

(<div style="text-align: center;"><img
src="file:///E:/public_html/shawshank.jpg" alt=""
style="width: 300px; height: 425px;"><br>)

whereas the images that do work are looking successfully on the server side.

(td style="text-align: center;"><img
style="width: 274px; height: 400px;" alt="" src="Andy%20Dufresne.jpg"><br>)

I have tried fiddling with the capitalization (which is what was screwing up the index page of many of us) and re-uploading the image and html file, but neither helped.

can anyone help us out as to why this is happening?

Fix the 'src=...' part, must point to the image on the server.
