2nd attempt, site but no pics!

Hi guys, back again with hopefully a simple question for someone.

Ok, so I decided that as I know nothing about coding I would enrol in my local college to take a crash course in web design for absolute beginners. My boy gave me a copy of Dreamweaver MX 2004 for dummies ( may be a lil out of date now... )

So I start to tinker again. This time I edit my old site by downloading all the pages from the host server, edit them all and then send them all back up to a new hosting server.

On the new server, I put the pages in the root/public html directory and the pictures in a folder called mypictures in this same directory.
ie root/public html/mypictures

When I view the website in dreamweaver, it looks fine but on the server I get no pictures so I have obviously put them in the wrong place. I did a quick test and put the picture that should appear on the home page in the root directory in a folder called mypictures but still nothing.

Been working on this for some time now and its getting late. Would be nice to sort it before I go for some shut eye...
TIA.

sorry, a link might help...

Re: 2nd attempt, site but no pics!

you may have to check your pictures in dreamweaver are pointing to the new directory on your server eg:

<img src="mypictures/yourimage.jpg

Re: 2nd attempt, site but no pics!

At the moment the code on the server is like this for all pictures,

<IMG src="myPictures/car31a.jpg" where the car31a.jpg is located in a folder called mypictures.
Just not sure where I should have uploaded the mypictures folder to on the server. Should it be in the same directory as the page files or in the root directory etc.

With all the files on the PC it previews fine in Dreamweaver, pointing to the correct directories etc. Sorry to be dumb but not quite sure when you say

<img src="mypictures/yourimage.jpg

Re: 2nd attempt, site but no pics!

only problem I can see is in your code your pictures are pointing to "myPictures and your post said the directory was "mypictures" eg capital P in your code.

Re: 2nd attempt, site but no pics!

Just out of interest, why do I get additional spacing between the text and the pictures when viewed using IE7? I normally use Firefox and it looks correct in that.
For example on the pictures page, in FF the first picture is right up under the text but in IE there is a large gap..approx 70mm on my monitor...

Re: 2nd attempt, site but no pics!

with a quick look at your code it seems you have a few <divs> still open this could cause your problem try closing two divs before the <div id="maincontent>
