uploading images

[KGrace]

I am a beginner at this website stuff. I used Microsoft Publisher to design a website. I previewed it and everything looked fine. The problem occured when I uploaded it. Everything came through except my images and pictures. What am I doing wrong? HELP...PLEASE! I signed up for the 3 year free package at 1and1.com and I thought I followed the instructions carefully. After I designed the website, I logged on to the ftp server as stated in the instructions on 1and1. I didn't really know what to do then, so I copied the images from my "Publisher" folder to the "image" folder on the ftp site. Then I copied the pages of my website (which I had saved as web pages from MS Publisher into the "Publisher" folder) to the ftp site. When I opened my browser and went to my website, everything was there except the images. Please remember that I am a beginner at this and would really like to learn.

Thanks for any responses.

Hey there KGrace, did you upload the actual images through your FTP program? :)

[renegade600]

post the url of the site that is not working. Sounds like the path to the images within the source is not correct but without look at the source it is just a guess.

[lufbra]

Okay, I re-read your post to see you added the pictures to a directory named "images", so, in the html text that's created, that "images" directory has to be in the text, it should look like this for each picture..

<IMG src="images/picturenamehere.jpg">

Lufbra and Renegade600, I am so lost in all of this that it's not even funny. Where is the html text that you speak of?? I need a break from this computer. (I never thought I would say that!!) I'm going to go out to eat somewhere and get away for a while. When I copied the images from my "Publisher" folder on my hard drive to the ftp folder "images", I just dragged and dropped them. If I am supposed to do something different, please let me know. BTW, here is the address:

Thanks for any help you can give me.

It looks like they are supposed to be in the main directory. Instead of putting them in a folder called images online, put them in the main folder with all the other files.

[lufbra]

KGrace, when you come back, go to your website and right mouse click over it, if you see a button saying "view source" click that button, it'll open up Notepad showing you the html text, that's part of what has been loaded up through your FTP program!! :)

[enat66]

And once you do what lufbra says you see a bunch of code...the problem lies in the image code:

<img width=73 height=19 border=0 src="img10.gif" usemap="#map1044">

This means there is a image such and such a size and it is looking for the file path src="img10.gif" If all the images are in a folder called "images" you would either have to move the images (probably the easiest) or change all the image's code to src="images/img**.gif but changing the * to the appropriate number...the second way is a little more complicated.

But now that I look at your site it doesn't appear the images are in a file called images either (unless it is being case sensitive or something)...check to make sure they uploaded. And try uploading them to the main directory

[KGrace]

It works. Thank you so much lufbra and Enat66!! I copied the images to the main folder and now it works!!!!

Need any facelift????

Thankfully yours,

KGrace :D :D :D

P.S. Now for that dinner....

[lufbra]

Need any facelift????
Errrrrr, nope, but I know a few around here that do!! ;)

[enat66]

What is an Error 404 and why would I get it when I click on the "Submit" button on my order page? I checked the Command Button Properties and they are correct. What am I doing wrong?

[enat66]

Your submit code is different. What are you using? It doesn't appear to send it anywhere. Were you supposed to upload a file called "--WEBBOT-SELF--" or something? Or were you supposed to fill it in with your own posting methods? I don't think you set up the form right...but to help you we need to know if your host allows php scripts.

[KGrace]

I'm checking on it, Enat. Thanks for replying.

[KGrace]

And the answer is yes. Thanks for helping me with this. Now what do I do?
Thanks! :)

Looks to me like your server doesn't support FrontPage extensions which are needed for this to work - can you check this out with your hoster?

[KGrace]

Okay, I just got home and installed NetObjects Fusion 7, Hello Engines Professional 4.1, WISE-FTP 3.0, and quite a few other programs. I'm gonna try this thing again and see if I can get it right. I appreciate all of the help I have received thus far and will let you know how I am getting along in this project.

Thanks!

To make the forms work we need a php form and a php page...unfortunatly I forgot how to do this and can't find a website that just says the code...can anyone else write a simple mail form code to send it to KGrace's email address or whatever?

[KGrace]

Thank you, Steven.Bentley. Although, right now I am just ready to give up. All of this is so confusing to me. Using NetObjects Fusion 7, I am building a website. All the pages are as I want them to be. I have 2 pages that are driving me up the wall, though. One is a page that I need a form to be on that people can fill out (name, address, email, etc...) and the other is an order form that I need to be submitted to my email address. I simply do not understand how to do this. If you or anyone can tell me how or show me step by step, I would appreciate it. You can email me at kmgrace@panola.com or reply here. I would deeply appreciate any help anyone can give me. I haven't eaten all day and I haven't slept in 2 days for more than a few hours.

Kelly :(

[enat66]

Can I have the pages with the forms on it...I should be able to edit them so they work. Please send them to enat66@hotmail.com (I will get to them as soon as I can but tomorrow's Thanksgiving and I am going to bed soon)

[renegade600]

Check out http://www.cgi2k.com/efeedback_info.shtml . It has a form generator and is very, very, good. It takes you step by step in the creation of the form and is very easy to follow. To be honest, this is what I use when I am too lazy to piece one together manually.

Once you create the form, all you have to do is copy and paste it within your webpage.
