Enlarging images trouble

  • December 27, 2016

I am trying to upload images into my website via Dreamweaver, so when the thumbnail is clicked, they will display the larger image of them. I inserted the codes onto Dreamweaver and previewed it to make sure everything looks right. Dreamweaver's preview has all the images being enlarged with no problems. When I tried to upload my website on the local server, the larger images never show up. Image sizing shouldn't be an issue because I'm using the same dimensions from images that actually work, or I'm reducing the size by a few pixels. None of my images go above 600pixels and all images have a resolution of 72 pixels per inch, according to Photoshop.

What is the reason for my images not enlarging when my website is uploaded?

    Correct answer osgood_

    The images are not appearing because they can't be found on the server

    Hand Drawn - this is ok - the image is on the server where the link says it is:

    http://www.coffeeduckinmaniac91.com/images/big%20typography.jpg

    Adrian Frutiger - This is NOT on the server where the link says it is:

    http://www.coffeeduckinmaniac91.com/images/big%20adrian%20frutiger%20poster.jpg

    You will just get a 404 error not found.

    Check that all the images that are not appearing when you click on the thumbnails are uploaded to your server and in the correct folder.

    By the way your image naming convention is very poor and likely will lead to trouble. You should never leave spaces between the words. Use an underscore to join up the words, like below:

    small_adrian_frutiger_poster.jpg

    big_adrian_frutiger_poster.jpg

    Can you provide the url to the page so someone can take a look at the code?

    Could be anything:

    Images might not be on the server where the link to them is saying they are.

    Have you actually uploaded the images to the remote server.

    Are the images in RGB color space an not CYMK.

    The best naming convention is to use small case letters and no spacing between words - my_image_of_ a_penguin.jpg

    This is the url to the page. Only a few images can be enlarged when they are clicked on, but the others aren't. I have uploaded my entire website onto both local and remote servers and the error still occurred.

    All images on the site are works that I have done beforehand, used Photoshop to reduce the sizes. I used "big" and "small" to distinguish the difference between the images and would be easier to understand in Dreamweaver.
