I am fairly new to DW and have just started to work my way through the book. I am running DW on a Windows XP platform with the server on the same machine. I got to point 9 on page 69 and when I try to view the page through the browser it only shows the standard IE image missing placeholder/icon (red cross inside a square). Is it anything to do with not having a Virtual Machine installed? I’ve just found out that XP doesn’t come with a native Virtual Machine now.
Will appreciate any help.
Many thanks.

Hi there,

You don't need a virtual machine to run any of the examples in the book; there is no Java code, only JavaScript here and there.

That said, your problem is probably caused by the fact that you haven't uploaded the picture to your remote server. To do so, open the Files panel on the Files or Site panel group (depending on your version of MX), make sure you are in local view, right click the image and choose Put.

This will send the image from your Local Site / View to the Remote Server / View.

You'll need this menu item quite often. Whenever you added images, script or other resources to your local View, you'll need to Put (upload) them to the remote server.

Cheers,

Imar

Duh!
I though it would be something simple. Have I missed the Put instruction somewhere before this point in the book? If so, my apologies. Many thanks for your help.

It depends on the book you're using. It was left out accidentally at an important location in the MX book, but it was corrected for the MX 2004 book.

Cheers,
