New website problems

[Henry]

I created a website using dreamweaver cs3 and for some of my graphics i used photoshop. When i transfered my files to my hosting everything went fine ecept any photo or graphic i used with photo shop. I called go daddy they told my that the host was trying to find my pic's from my computer instead of through the host. So when i look at my website there is no graphics or pic that i used photoshop for just a blank with a red x. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Check to see that your image paths are set correctly. Make sure they are not trying to pull the images from a local PC file; in other words, check your code

That is what the problem is its trying to pull it up from my computer instead through the host. I just dont know how to change the path.

your image path should be like this:

http://www.whateveryourwebsiteis.com...s/whatever.jpg

basically, whatever your URL is, then forward slash, then the path to your image folder on the host.

I try that i upload a file on dreamweaver its fine i change the the file name and then i lose my image where do you change the path

Go to "code view", click on the image, and you can set the path below on the bottom toolbar. You just need to know the URL and where the image is stored on your hosting account.

I went on my dreamweaver. I clicked on the image to the file name below it said url is ../kellttle.jpg so i change that to http://website.com as soon as i did that i lost the image on my dreamweaver.

I believe the files have to uploaded to where the site is hosted. The site I build, that's how it works. It won't be able to pull the files from your computer if it's off. Might be wrong but makes sense to me.

What does your site structure look like?

you should, ideally, have a structure like so:

index.html (main web site)
images (images folder with all of your images)
|__ kellttle.jpg (the image you're working with now
|__ image01.jpg
|__ image02.jpg

Now, your index.html should have the url as images/kellttle.jpg

the fact that you have ../kellttle.jpg tells me that your structure is screwed up.

Also,

II clicked on the image to the file name below it said url is ../kellttle.jpg so i change that to http://website.com as soon as i did that i lost the image on my dreamweaver.

You can also put an absolute path - http://example.com/kellttle.jpg - don't remove kellttle.jpg, otherwise, yes - it will delete the graphic.
