when i try to run a script with this coding lines:
leftrightslide[0] ='<img height="85" with="80" src="holland1.jpg" alt="">'
leftrightslide[1] ='<img height="85" with="80" src="holland2.jpg" alt="">'
which are located in voda images i only see red crosses (the famous ones).

when i look at the propperties of the crosses i see that the location is:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%0Settings...t/holland1.jpg
and here those images don't exist.

i got the next lines in a script:
leftrightslide[0] ='<img height="85" with="80" src="holland1.jpg" alt="">'
leftrightslide[1] ='<img height="85" with="80" src="holland2.jpg" alt="">'
whe i run the script i only see the famous red crosses.
when i look at the location where voda is looking for the pictures (which are in the voda directory in the map images i see that voda is looking for a compete different location.

The images 'holland1.jpg' and 'holland2.jpg' will not be automatically published just because you referred to them.
When you want this to work you must do this:
Publish the images by using BlueFTP and preview your pages online
or
Specify absolute paths: http://www.yourdomain.com/holland1.jpg

ok, as you say, but why is this happening? with further testing, 2 pictures came out, the other three gave the same red cross. is there an explination about the fact that when i publish the page the things would go right and as long as i test on my own pc the pictures stay hidden?

Yes, because you didn't tell BlueVoda where to look for those images.
If you specify an absolute path it will also work for local previews.

oke, thank you, but how do i define an absolute path?

Absolute path means full path:
http://www.yourdomain.com/holland1.jpg
instead of
holland1.jpg

ok, that i got, but now, i don't have a domain yet and do the development on my own computer. is there a way, before i get my own site, to see those pictures?

No, unless you make them a part of your webpage.
For example hide them behind another picture, so will get published to the preview folder.

ok, it is done, i got a headache, before my next question, i think about this problem, don't worry i'll be back (if you don't mind)

You need to get a domain my friend.
