Hi --
I'm completing a new website both to launch my business (after completing Adobe Certificate, not yet) and as an assignment for a course. I've run into problems with the template and have flailed around trying to fix it in CSS and just made it worse. (Am suspicious that an incipient Windows Update, robbing resources in the background, was causing dropped stitches in the knitting.) The zip file will be uploaded, and it includes a WordPad file showing some of what I still need to tweak and might forget -- the big things need no reminder.
Anyway, the Accordion is set up correctly so far as I can see, but it doesn't work.
The center article should fill the space between the accordion and the media icons, but I can't get it to format so it looks the same as Sidebar1 only wider.
I've found "csses" and plan to delete the unused CSS selectors, but don't want to do that until later, so it's a mess. And all the code needs to be tidied up eventually as it's shameful now, but am working to a deadline and must do essentials first.
Well... I don't see any way to attach the zip. Guess I'll upload the files. Wonder if the zip can be downloaded from the url? Let's find out. Seems to work, and the zip will download.
Remove the leading dots and slash from Bootstrap and jQuery file paths.
Change this:
../css/bootstrap.css
To this:
css/bootstrap.css
Save and upload the CSS and JS folders to your server.

Sorru, I don't donwload files from untrusted sources. It's nothing personal.
The best way to get help here is to upload your page & assets to a TEST folder on your remote server. We can examine the page with our browser developer tools to see what's cookin'.

I sent an email reply asking how to do an upload to Test, but it must not have worked, so I'm asking now while on the Forum. To do that, do I just create a directory for these files named "Test" or is there more to it?
Further, a friend from home used his test program after I asked our fan group for help, and he found a bug in that DW template from the download from Index of /15aug18-template-jrj ; I will meet with him tomorrow to discuss this, as we're both attending the WorldCon in San Jose.
It's a relief to know that I wasn't doing anything wrong, but that there actually was a bug, as I suspected. Don't yet know how to deal with it -- probably start with a backup file from before the corruption and redo that last day. Won't give me back all the time I wasted flailing around, though.
So is it worth your time to take a look as well, once I find out how to do this Test upload thing?
Thank you for your help.

Ok I'll do that but need directions about test folders. Just name the folder test is all?

If this is your site, jj-INK - Home, please tell is where the accordion has been placed and what it is supposed to do.

No, that's not the site I'm doing now; the jj-ink is from older college class projects but the uploading got scrambled for jj-INK - Home and I'll clean all this up on the host site when I have more time. You've been doing some detective work to find that. I don't actually have a home page for this new project yet, as I'm still working on the template, which can be downloaded from -- Index of /15aug18-template-jrj

Thanks for taking an interest.

OK, many thanks. Files are in Index of /TEST

That's not quite what I was hoping for. We just need to see a working page online. I don't want to download and unzip anything.

OK, I uploaded the css and js files, except I haven't found the font-awesome, but don't believe you'll need that. There's an image in the fixup file of the DreamWeaver open to the present DWT and you can see the subsidiary files. So you should have a working page when you put them all together with the css files in that director and js files in theirs. Image won't show; do you want me to upload that too? Forgot.

OK, realized I could put them into subdirectories and have done so.

Don't you have a working .html page?
To give you an example of what I mean, this is a demo I created yesterday. It's a working web page -- nothing to download, no assembly required.

OK, I finally got it to come up after I created a page from the faulty template.
jj-WebDesign — Let's make it right.
My friend emailed that he found a bug using the first set of files I sent, from the zip, and now we're both at the same convention in San Jose, WorldCon76, but he never followed up to tell me what to do about fixing anything, or what I should do, and I haven't seen him. The deadline for this submission is tomorrow.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Please upload the JS folder containing Bootstrap and Jquery.js. Those essential files are 404 not found on server.

If you look at the earlier replies, it's all there in the Notes directory. And when I open http://www.jj-webdesign.com/TEST/home.html from my tablet, it is fine and doesn't need anything further.
Guess I should just despair.

Then your web page contains bad paths to those 2 essential scripts. When I view your source code in my browser and click on the jQuery script, this is what I see. Ditto for the Bootstrap script.

Actually they are if you look at all the stuff I've already uploaded to test.

If those scripts are indeed on your server, they are in the wrong folder relative to your HTML page. This is the path your page was pointing to (I see it is no longer there).

Hi Nancy; I was reading this post because my bootstrap files template is not working either.
Curious, where exactly should the script files live. When I uploaded my bootstrap template to my server I checked "yes" to move dependent files. I assumed it would know where to put them 🙂 However, my responsive design is not working. I was thinking that maybe these files are not in the right place. Could you take a peak to see if they are correct? Thank you.
