 How To FAQs   


Why are my graphics not showing when I view my web site with Internet Explorer or Netscape?


Make certain that your graphics are properly saved in one of the following formats:

GIF, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or TIF

A visitor's web browser may not be able to display graphics saved in other file formats.

Another very common cause for missing graphics is improper path references in the HTML code within the web page.

This occurs when images inserted into a web page reference the location of the image file on your local PC's hard drive (example: C:/My Web/images/logo.gif).  Naturally, your web visitor's will not be able to view images if your web page indicates that the image is located on the C: drive of your local PC.

To correct this problem...

  1. Open your web pages in your web editor and confirm that the image properties do not reference a path on your local PC's hard drive.  Instead the path should be designated as a virtual path in the form of:

    /images/logo.gif

    or

    http://www.yourdomain.com/images/logo.gif
     

  2. Re-publish your web site to your account on the server to update any pages that were not correctly displaying images.
