I have naively made a site and tested it in IE8. Now i find out that in every other browser i can imagine there are no images displayed! I have tried all i can and now feel like giving up as my site is crap any way. Some one got any tips? (other than dont give up the day job, lol!)

 

NB:

 

I tried creating an "images" folder inside the "public_html" directory of my host account and making sure the images are uploaded to there.

Also i have made sure the file path is relative to page location but i'm not sure that i have the file path spot on.

 

Even so; it shows images in IE8 but only the alt txt in other browsers. This is so disheartening.

got a link?

my site is at http://www.essentialoilsforhealth.biz

i think some pages might show images but this confuses me even more!

some of your images are looking to find

[url="file:///C:/Users/Jay&Linz/Pictures/ir"]file:///C:/Users/Jay&Linz/Pictures/ir[/url]

 

or in the case of the banner

[url="http://www.essentialoilsforhealth.biz/Pictures/main-image.jpg"]http://www.essentialoilsforhealth.biz/Pictures/main-image.jpg[/url]

doesn't exist.

 

Happens in Chrome as well

looks like i don't have a clue what i am doing!

 

I have just taken a look at how i have linked the images in the html and this is what i have tried now (which still doesn't work!). Do you know waht i am doing wrong? I suspect that it is more me than browsers!

 

<img style="width: 774px; height: 146px;"

alt="main title image for essential oils & aromatherapy"

src="../../images/main-image.jpg">

well, for a start, does that /images folder exist and then where is it in relation to the html file.

im just going to check out that link...

UNBELIEVABLE! I think i actually get it now! I have managed to get the header image showing in ie8 and in chrome by using the link you gave me - thanks so much! I will see if i can apply this across the site (which i am planning to improve on anyway). Will you have a look and tell me if my home page header is showing your end please?

Yep, home page header working fine. Well done.

Thanks so much; it was really starting to bug me! I am sure i will be back...
