I am new to Dreamweaver. I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am using the Beginning Dreamweaver MX book. I am following the instructions for developing The Cooking Place, the first website.

I am able to preview the site in both my browsers (IE, Netscape) if I input plain text such as Welcome to Beginning Dreamweaver MX. If I create the table and add the first two images, I can't preview it in either browser. All I see (in IE) is a placeholder where the images should be, and Netscape shows nothing.

I am not uploading to a remote server, everything is on my PC. I can't precede until I can solve this issue. I really would appreciate any ideas.

Have you PUT all your images to the remote location? I seem to remember that you have to have a local folder, and a remote folder which is used for viewing. So, if your images use a dependant path, there must be an image at the location it points to.

Have a look at the source of your page, specifically at the src of your images. Are they pointing to nonexistant files?

There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once ;)

I think Dreamweaver will automatically prompt you if an image(or any other file) you're inserting into a web page isn't in the local site folder. I use Dreamweaver all the time to insert my Flash movies so what I do when this message comes up is this: I always tell Dreamweaver to copy that particular file I am inserting to the local folder.

If you don't get the message I talked about above, you will have to manually move your images and what-not to your local folder.

I don't want to sound like I haven't made any mistakes. I'm confident I have.

Welcome to the New Age

Thanks to all who replied. The problem was that I did not have the images in the remote location.
