Image not found

[aaronw51765599]

Whenever I rollover the url it says image not found.  Doesn't matter how I select the image (site root, document, brown, manually).  I have the proper site root, it just won't link.

#cover {

background: #222 url(/../img/stars.jpg) center center no-repeat;

background-size: cover;

color: white;

height: 100%;

text-align: center;

}

I REALLY hate this program.

[aaronw51765599]

got it figured out.  Really hate this program though.  Like really really  despise it - wish I didn't have to use it.

A knowledge of HTML and CSS is required to use Dreamweaver. That way you would have noticed that the problem was with your link

/../img/stars.jpg

which should have been

../img/stars.jpg

or

/img/stars.jpg

The first points to the img directory, one up from where the style rules are; the latter points to an img as a sub from the root directory.

I HAD tried all your examples.  didn't work.

could you please, send us a copy of the tree (folders and files) and a snippet of HTML code where the image is suposed to shows up

[Kratika Agarwal]

Hi,

Could you please share below information with us:

1) Did you define a local site folder in DW before begining your site.

2) What is the Dreamweaver version you are using

2) What is the OS you are using

3) Did you try with some other images or making another local site

Thanks

[aaronw51765599]

I got it fixed somehow.  I did define the local site folder and am just learning web programming.  The frustration is when I use dreamweavers built in browse or autocomplete tool to select the file it doesn't work - this is especially frustrating to someone who can't necessarily see how dreamweaver is entering the file location wrong.  Really HATE dreamweaver.

[B i r n o u]

the very first step to be sure that path are correctly set in linked document (whatever they are, images, files,...) you have to set and define a website... as basic as simply define the local folder, and that is it... so if when doing it, browse path doesn't work, please could you explain how ?

that is why I was asking previously for your tree (folder and files)  and HTML code

do you get the point now ?

[aaronw51765599]

yes I did that, I had done that, that wasn't the problem.  The problem was when I used Dreamweavers browse or autocomplete features it wasn't correct.  I already solved the problem though by deleting characters off what dreamweaver was entering so problem solved.  Thanks for the help.  Half the time it says image not found I just have to not touch anything and wait 5 minutes and then magically image appears.  Another half the time I just have to not touch anything and restart dreamweaver and then it magically works.  It is very frustrating when you are trying to learn and you can't tell if the problem is with your code or the problem is with the tool.  Sometimes I can find the error in my code, other times I am dying trying to find what I did wrong and it turns out I just needed to restart dreamweaver and then it magically works.  HATE this program.

[B i r n o u]

I will be interested by watching and reproducing the steps that you use... I never encounter any trouble in generating path by the DW browser function. is it possible to get a screen capture of what happen in your side... to clearly understand what happen ?

[aaronw51765599]

actually none of those examples worked.  The one I posted was just one of 4 attempts.  You'd think that if you select the image using dreamweavers own browse function it would actually work.

HATE dreamweaver.

HATE dreamweaver.

Just like I HATE hammers. They never drive the nail straight into the timber. People have often told me what to do, but it never works.

[aaronw51765599]

Right - because there never has been a hammer that was poorly designed, unbalanced, with a rounded off head that made the job more difficult than need be had the hammer been designed properly with the user in mind.  Great analogy. 

HATE dreamweaver.

aaron, well I've met hammer with sharp side https://www.lesamisduterroir-sevrier.com/image_1754.jpg  or hammer with round head https://cdn.manomano.fr/gedore-marteau-a-emboutir-271-L-419258-2396563_1.jpg  and also hammer who bounce all the time https://www.bricoman.fr/mediap/article/0/6/4/8/6/426846_02_pbd.jpg  even hammer without head https://www.bricoman.fr/mediap/article/0/4/0/2/9/239204_pbd.jpg and annoying hammer too https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPW2dAMZB3SZqBxxQaQJnCi7EZmZzSZU6GFthtWQ1HNJ7x...

50 minutes well spent!

[B i r n o u]

cool , glad that you enjoy it.... so , how is your nailing now ?

[BenPleysier]

Still trying to find a short skirt that fits me.

[B i r n o u]

excellent...

[aaronw51765599]

I also have to restart the program every time I add a style sheet to get itvto link.  I don't change a thing, but it magically appears after restart.

HATE DREAMWEAVER.

well, what I am expecting is as I said tree (folders and files) and HTML code... as you can see on this screen capture
