Arrow images don't appear when uploaded

Post by newbie »

When I preview my menu, the arrow images on the menu appear without any problem. However, when I actually upload my site, the arrow images, next to each menu item will not show up. I am sure I have uploaded the image files, so I don't know what the problem is. Can someone please help? Thank you so much!

Ignorance can sometimes be a virtue, don't worry about it.

With your image problem it's hard to say exactly what's going on without seeing that portion of your code. Whenever I have had the issue of the arrow images not showing up when I moved my files, it always turned out that I hadn't used a relative path.

Meaning I used something like:
"file:///C:/folder/website/images"

insted of a relative path like:
"../images/arrow.gif"

I don't know if this will help but take care and good luck :D ,

Not trying to be picky, but relative paths can get you into trouble as well, especially if the menu/array/web page are located in different directories (most any combination thereof). It's always best to use server relative paths, rather than document relative; e.g., /abc/def/arrow.gif. Note the leading '/'.
