Path problem ?

[Mike]

I am buiding a site om my homespace which will be shortly transferred to
a domian name.
If you go to the diary page and click on the 9th Oct... I do not seem
to be able to bring up the pictures.
Been trying every variation of the path but no luck.
Would appreciate some help please..

URL = www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mikep/fengshan

Thanks

Because 9/10/2004 hasnt happened yet?

Seriously, at a quick glance all your paths seemed screwed. eg,

in expmem.html you have something like: <img
src="../fengshan2004/data/diary.jpg
in diary.html you have <img src="diary.jpg"


Yet these html files are in the same folder and are referring to the same
jpg. (It should probably be fengshan not fengshan2004 but Im guessing).
I suggest you create a folder called 'images' in the top folder and then
reference everything as /images/whatever.jpg

Is it really possible to refer to directories from top-level?!?!?! Damn. I
guess my "../../../IMG" values are useless...

Does that just work under a Unix server? Do Window$ severs cope with this?

I'd appreciate your advice.

All the images seem to be in the fengshan directory, so you need to backstep
to there. Eg. On the 9th Oct Diary page, the banner will be
"../../../fengshanbanner1.jpg". Hope that helps.

As an aside, do you know of the Gavin Newman trip to the China Caves
recently? I've been helping a colleague with the soundtrack music for
Gavin's film of the trip, which we are going to see a preview of tonight.

Cheers,

Thanks Deryck

I am just trying to get the 9th and 10th right.. then I can move on.....
and I appreciate the other links are screwed for the time being.. so
ignore them.

I originally had all the images in "data" but was having trouble with
that path ... it all works fine on my pc ... but not on my homespace.

Looks like you're telling the browser to look for the image(s) in the root
directory of www.users.globalnet.co.uk/

In other words - right click on where the image is supposed to be and the
property description says
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/fengshan/fengshanbanner1.jpg

your page source says <img src="/fengshan/fengshanbanner1.jpg" width="796"
height="176">

the first "/" is telling it to look in the root directory. If you're to use
that path, you need to change it to:
<img src="/~mikep/fengshan/fengshanbanner1.jpg" width="796" height="176">

BTW - you should not get in the habit of using the browser to size the
image. Make the image the size that you want.

cheers

Troublesome image:

Viewable image:

PS...you might find the whole fodler structure less confusing when you get
your "proper" domain sorted.

Thanks for that .. did try it .. lost banner on pc .. and looking at
properties when it does NOT show up on WWW I get this ....
file:///C:/fengshan/fengshan/fengshanbanner1.jpg.... too many fengshans'

My head hurts !!

As for the Gavin trip .. I reckon the film will be awesome. I saw him do
a Steven Nunwick lecture at Hull .. he showed film of diving in the
Picos de Europa (N.Spain) .. Everyone was pretty gobsmacked at the
quality of it all.

Now back to the bloomin website ... we go next Sat !!

It has nothing to do with the server. It's up to the user agent to work
out where a link goes, based on whether the URI is relative or absolute,
and what the base URI for the document is.

The only browser bug I can think of at the moment is that IE doesn't
understand what an empty URI is. It should refer to the current document,
but IE treats it as the directory of the current document. Oddly, it does
use the correct address with the form action attribute.

Dont worry, I did it too - if only dates weren't about as cross-system
compatible as HTML

Just curious here. Shouldn't the <img src="/foobar.jpg"> ask the web
server to look for the image in the "web root" directory?

I hope Matt was saying the same thing. In Unix context (which the user
is on as he has the ~/ dir structure) talking about root directories,
the root and web root would mean two different things.
