Thread: newbie help with Html

First off great site and many people here with great knowledge.

I have been using frontpage to build my websites and i saw bv and i really liked the freedom to place stuff anywhere.

In front page you can actually create a web with all the images and stuff right in your web. I don't know if this is possible in bv. The reason i ask this is because it was pretty easy to link images in html code since it was right there. I am trying to use a converyor belt type slide show with html but I am having a hard time finding my images to link. I know they are in my images folder but how do i go about putting them in my html code. when i preview it in the browser i just get a whole lotta XXXX's

Any help for a newbie would be great.

Once again thank you very much

Hi, just an idea! But if you upload the images that you will be using to the server. You could just place the full url to that image in your code. When you preview a BV page in your browser it will call for the images from your server.
(Bit like linking from a photo/image site)

So is it posible i could just upload all my images to a folder titled webimages on my server. Then I have the http://mywebsite.com/webimages/firstimage.jpg.

This is what i would link in the html?

That is not an actual link i was just wondering. So just to be clear i would just use the http:// as my image link and it should work.

Is it possible to have this image folder somewhere on my computer to access the http:// quickly if one can't remember. Or would it just make sense to always open my control panel.

Also to up load files should i just use the upload file in the control panel, or the upload feature in bv?

Thanks for the quick replies i'm going to give it a try.

Hi, shouldn't really matter, but its not a bad idea to use the full url with www http://www.mywebsite.com/webimages/firstimage.jpg. This will enable the preview on your home browser. If the images & the page was fully on the server, you could use just the /webimages/firstimage.jpg
as the link.
The way you are doing with code will also allow your pages to upload a lot quicker to the server.
As for linking to images on your home machine at the same time. No this wont be possible if using code.
To upload the files you can use BV FTP or the control panel upload. I tend to find the control panel a bit better.

Thank you so much. I am going to give this a try tonight and see if i can get it to work.

Once again Thank you very much
