images not showing in browser(s)

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver MX and am currently on page 69 of Beginning Dreamweaver MX - getting started with the Cooking Place site. The problem is I can't get the image (topleft.gif) and the accompanying text to display in either IE or Mozilla Firefox. All I get is a rectangle with a cross where the image should be. I assume I have everything set up correctly - the address bar reads: http://localhost/thecookingplace/index.htm. and the site panel looks like the one shown in the book. I also tried removing this line:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> as instructed for Netscape, but that didn't help either. Also, the paths to the image source look OK too:<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="Images/topbkg.gif">
  <tr>
    <td width="50%"><img src="Images/topleft.gif" width="290" height="51" /></td>
    <td width="50%"> </td>, so I can't understand what's wrong.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mikael

Hi Mikael,

You probably need to copy the images from the local working folder to the remote / testing server. To do this, locate the images in the Files panel in Dreamweaver, right-click them and then choose Put.

The images will be copied to a folder like c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TheCookingPlace\Images so they will show up in the browser correctly.

Hope this helps and if not, please let me know.

It works! And it's something I would never have thought of. Thanks Imar.
