uploading file problems

[patrick5]

hi, i just purchased a basic package and i am having trouble uploading files...i used the file manager and the files didn't show the pictures, only squares and the background color was changed to white..i used auto detect... but still the same and i tried the other two formats with exactly the same result...on my hard disk these files looked fine..i used star writer word processor to make my files and to save them as html...i used their autopilot where they concerted everything in the right html codes...they claim that their html documents really look good.. but when i uploaded them it didn't look the same at all....but on my hard drive they were fine....can anyone help guide me thru this step ???[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]thanks .. patrick[nbsp]

Generally, there are three main causes of graphics in HTML looking okay on your hard drive, but not when uploaded to a remote server.

1) Did you upload the pictures to the server?

2) Are they linked properly? Windows is not case sensitive, so if you linked to a graphic as Picture.jpg, that will work even if the file is named picture.jpg[nbsp][nbsp]However, Unix/Linux are case sensitive, so the server will see those as completely different files and not interchange the 2 of them.

3) Make sure the paths are correct. Many Windows HTML editors have an easy way to insert images into an HTML document just by clicking on the image. So when you do, it'll add the hard drive path to the image like "C:\webstuff\pictures\picture.jpg". That will cause the image to appear broken when uploaded since that path doesn't translate into a proper server file path.

If you post the URL of the page with the broken images, that would help to find out what's wrong in this case.
