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?

[Pablo]

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.

[leovoda]

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

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

[leovoda]

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?

[Pablo]

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.

[leovoda]

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.
