Re: help

I can't see anything at all. All I get is a "Access Forbidden" error page. Maybe you simply deleted everything from your site, since you posted the link.

That error page usually means that you don't have a file named "index.html" on your site. The Bravenet web servers expect your home page to be named "index.html" or "index.htm". Preferably "index.html". This is the page that the web server looks for on your web site, when a visitor uses your URL. Make sure your Dreamweaver creation includes this as your "home" page.

Generally, when your designing a web site, you create everything in a local folder on your PC. All of your pages, style sheets, and images should be in that folder. Your links and image tags are then created relative to that folder. Check your code to make sure you don't have links or image tags that refer to your hard drive (C: or D . These will not work on the internet. Then, when you upload, you need to make sure your web site file/folder structure is exactly the same as your local design folder, and that you upload everything. For example, it's common to put all your images in a common folder, to keep your root design folder uncluttered. If your local folder has a "images" folder, and your image tags reference this folder, it better also exist on your web site. The web server doesn't look around for them. Either they are where you say they are, or they don't exist. Pay careful attention to spelling. Your PC may not be upper/lower case sensitive, but the web server is. All references in links and image tags, must match exactly in spelling and upper/lower case.

p.s. Don't expect instant answers on these forums. This is not a chat room and not Bravenet's service desk. Even if it was, this is a weekend. As soon as someone reads your query, possibly knows the answer, and then has the time, they will answer. Just be patient.

Re: help

I can see your page now, but I can't see any of the images. According to your web page code, most of your images are expected to be in a folder named "images". But I have tried to find them in some of the more common areas, and they are not there. The folder that you use on your local PC, which you say is in "My Documents", should also contain a local "images" folder ("...My Documents[your web site]images").

For example, one of your link buttons is named "images/reptile-site-test2_04.gif". I tried accessing it directly, looked for it in the root folder ("/"), and a few other common places. Every time I get a "File Not Found error". To make sure, log into your Bravenet account manager and navigate to the File Manager. The File Manager should display all the files and folders on your web site. You should be able to see which files exist, and which folder they exist in. It should be a virtual replica of folder you use in "My Documents". Any folders that don't exist, create. Any files you find missing, upload.

I know Dreamweaver has a built in upload capability. You can use that, or almost any other external FTP tool. But if your using the built in upload capability, make sure it is configured to upload all of your site files into the necessary folders.
