"Images not showing, can anyone help?"

I am frustreated as I cannot get images to show on my web site. Images have been uploaded to a subdirectory "images" within the htdocs folder and the HTML link is src="/htdocs/images/image003.gif".
I have also tried "/images/image003.gif" with no success.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,,, BigDoc

Depending on where you are calling the image from, it can sometime help (using relative url) to put a ../ before the link eg src=../images/image003.gif

This makes the link relative to the current folder thus:

../ = go to the next higher directory
image/ = choose that sub-directory
image001.gif = the filename required

In this example, if we assume the directory structure is:

\htdocs
\htdocs\images
\htdocs\pages

and you were in the pages subdirectory, using the src=../images/image003.gif would take you from /pages to /htdocs then into /htdocs/images then give you the filename.
Of course, if you were in a subdirectory of /pages, for example /pages/buttons, you can use multiple ../ to achieve the same effect: e.g. to go up 2 levels before getting into the folder structure, simply use src=../../images/image003.gif

I mention all of this for 2 reasons... its much better to use relative urls than full urls, especially for offline testing of the website, and secondly, its much less typing when creating new pages!!!

Hope this helps,

Thank you, seems I needed to have the HTML src="http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/images/image003.gif" etc..

Cheers all!

The htdocs reference will fail. But using absolute (i.e. the full path) or relative address (images/pic.jpg) will work.

If you're still not having any joy can you post the URL and the image file name?

Tried that but still no joy and cases are OK too! Thanks for your suggestion tho.

Try a full address:


And check your cases.
