One strange bug after I tried the latest dreamweaver... I switched from CS3 to CC.. Some images are not showing in design view in but they show in remote view. Most files are fine. It's only a small number of files. Why would this be happening?

    See screenshot below.

    Did you switch to LIVE view and refresh (F5) after saving the document?

    Are you working with valid HTML code (denoted by a green checkmark)?

     

    Did you define a local site folder for your project?

    Do the images reside in your local site folder?

    I am working from mac so I don't have the f keys. I did refresh while in local view. I switched back and forth from remote to local. the remote was perfect, local was not connecting to the images. 

     

    Did you define a local site folder for your project? Yes

    Do the images reside in your local site folder? Yes

     

    I used the same configuration I had in Cs3, which worked for years. 

     

    thanks for your response, btw.

    Once you conform to document relative links on all images, it should work in DW.

    That said, this site is a time capsule of:

     

    Sadly, due to its advanced age and glaring usability issues, there's not much to love.  Rebuild it with Bootstrap or some other responsive framework.

     


    Duly noted. I have some work ahead of me. I started the project in 1995!

     

    I think I figured out why the photos are not showing up in serverside. At one point, I had moved the site to a different part of the hard drive. I updated the settings in dreamweaver, but some of the code must have be confiused now. I was thinjking of deleting the site on server side, re-estblashing it and re-uploading. Do you think I am on the right track?

    Hard to tell without seeing your code.  Are these remote or dynamically generated images or are they within your local site definition?

    I created them locally on photoshop. they are jpegs. They worked well for years on dreamweaver cs3.

    Here is an example of the code that no longer works:  <td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><a href="https://www.drct.com/Area_Monitors/AMP-100.html"><img src="/images/area_monitors/AMP-100-tn.jpg" alt="AMP-100 area monitor" width="144" height="144" border="0"></a></td>
