Preview Images in Browser

[WSBlue]

I design the pages on BV and save them in the PC.
When I burn them on a CD and use it on different PC, images disappear, (X appear)when preview in browser, WHY?
Please advise!

Hi, BV is looking for a folder where your images are stored. So you need to place the folder where the site images are stored on the CD as well.

It's not quite that simple. You need to be calling for the images from the cd on all computers that you want them to found on the cd. If you pulled them up from a folder in your pictures files - that's a completely different path than the same folder on the cd. So, make sure you call them up from the cd no matter what computer you're on and you'll be able to use from different computers.

I copied the whole folder and everything inside the folder from PC to CD where I designed the pages using BV.
When open it on different PC, all the pages still the same, everything is still there BUT all images disappear while preview in browser, unless I go back and reattach the images again on BV. Does it work like that?

Yes, because every image has, in a BV file, it's own path. Since a different computer may have a differently named directory structure (f.e. in one PC your space is named "WS", whilst in the other it is named "Blue") . To overcome the problem you need to copy the files from the CD to the computer you are working on, inside the BV folder. Images in the CD "images" folder, need to be placed also in the computer's "Bluevoda/Images" folder.
