Arrgghh! I can't figure out what's wrong

Everything on my Website has been turned to rat****, I don't know what happened, I used Dreamweaver to upload and it did something. Now it will only appear in Text Format, No Images, no nothing. The Coding looks fine. CSS is working as intended on my webserver. Curse you Dreamweaver!

All the URLs are in absolute format (i.e. written out from the root as relevant to your local machine only) - change them back to relative paths (relative to the current directory, or the document root) and you should be fine.Edit: DW may have some batch function that will do them all at once.

I don't quite follow what you mean. The Template looks fine on my machine. The CSS is linked to the appropriate places on the FTP. But when I view it on the web, it looks nothing like how it looks when I view it on my computer...

If you look at the code for the images, you will see that the source is referenced in an absolute fashion:

<img src="file:///C|/Users/Aaron/Documents/templatemo_210_simple_blue/images/templatemo_image_04.jpg" alt="Image Title 1" />

This works fine on your local machine, because you have the files in place and are accessing it all locally, but I certainly don't have a file at C:\Users\Aaron\Documents\templatemo_210_simple_blue\images\templatemo_image_04.jpg, so I don't see anything (even if I did, it wouldn't load for security reasons).To fix that, you need to change the path so it is relative to the HTML document, so that no matter what system you are on the reference remains relevant. For the example above, this would look like:

<img src="images/templatemo_image_04.jpg" alt="Image Title 1" />

That way, no matter where the file is located the browser will always know to look for the file in the images subfolder residing in the same directory as the HTML document.

When using DW you must setup a site then all the files will work as intended. Under SITE on the toolbar create a new site.All your files will be put in a folder and the links will be relative (img src="images/myimage.gif") instead of absolute (img src="file:///C|/Users/Aaron/Documents/templatemo_210_simple_blue/images/templatemo_image_04.jpg" alt="Image Title 1" />hope that helps.dink
