What are the tabs at the top of the standard mode pages

The name of the page I'm working on is index.php (it's the index page for the speech and debate category).

Homeschool Speech and Debate

I am in Standard mode. At the top are 5 tabs:

source code

head.php

header.php

christianlogic_add.php

footer.php

I can work on the text of the index page when I have the "source code" tab clicked.

What I want to do is make the image (of a book cover) link to an Amazon affiliate link. I want these words under the image of the book: The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning.

Someone here on the forum said to use this code:

  </a>

If I click on "head.php" it says, "head.php is not on the local disk." If I click on "header.php" it says, "header.php is not on the local disk." Same with "footer.php". If I click on "christianlogic_add.php" I get the code I think is for that image of the book cover, so I pasted the suggested code and saved.

If I make changes to any of the text of the page and then "put," the changes are made properly to the web site, except the changes to the image don't take. I must need to "put" on something else.

This statement is also at the top of the page, "This page may have dynamically-related files that can only be discovered by the server."

Correct answer Ben M

Those files that you see at the top are included files on the document you are working on.  Becuase those documents are on a remote server, Dreamweaver is unable to allow you to edit them.  If the files are from a 3rd party you likely won't be able to edit them, but they will still show up when you go to edit the page.

With regards to your image, if you change an image locally, you will need to put that file in addition to the HTML file you are working on so it gets updated for you.

This image is 404 not found.  Did you upload it to the images folder on your server yet?

I understand this.

"Because those documents are on a remote server, Dreamweaver is unable to allow you to edit them."

But when I sync the files, those documents should be on my local computer so I can edit them.

"If the files are from a 3rd party you likely won't be able to edit them,"

There is no 3rd party.

"but they will still show up when you go to edit the page."

??

"With regards to your image, if you change an image locally, you will need to put that file in addition to the HTML file you are working on so it gets updated for you."

This is the part I don't understand. How do I put the image file?

You should always check to ensure that this is the case.

Assuming that your site has been setup correctly - local and remote servers have been defined correctly - , I think that the best way forward is to make sure that all of the files that reside on the remote, are also present on your local system and visa versa. You can view both directories by clicking the 'Expand to show local and remote sites' button.

If the remote Server files are not shown, click the 'Click here' link. Compare the two sites and if you see a file on the remote that is not on the local machine, simply click the 'Get File(s)' button. Similarly, if the file is in the local site and not in the remote, click the 'Put File(s)' button.

Once the sites are properly synchronised, there should no longer be a problem.
