Dreamweaver website...

[dog8food]

This is my first website, and I'm almost finished with it. I have a bunch of different pages on it, and they're all linked up, the only thing is the links point to places like my computer>website>index....

So when it comes time for me to publish my site on the WWW, Am I going to have to re-link everything (that would take me forever)? Or is there a way to just upload my website folder where it will stay in tact?

That shouldn't be a problem - build in FTPs should be able to remove that and replace that with the proper directory.

Kram, do you know what you are talking about? FTP is not going to change any files when they are uploaded.

To answer your question as to whether the images will show up, it depends on how you created the links.

If the links were done like this: <img src="/images/image.jpg"> , then they should show up if there is an images directory inside of your public html directory. You could also link like this <img src="images/image.jpg"> . The only difference would be that if you used subdirectories and you used the one without the opening / , then it would expect a directory inside that sub-directory called images. If you used it with the /, then it would expect a directory inside your public html directory. I nearly always use the / since this prevents problems.

If your images are like this: <img src="C:\images\image.jpg"> , then they wouldn't show up on the web and would have to be changed. DW has a search and replace that you could change all of them in a hurry with something like replace C:\images\ with /images/ . You can also search and replace files in certain directories.

Some more advice on images is to name images (and html files for that matter) all lowercase and don't have spaces between words. So instead of "Big Fat Image.jpg", it would be "big_fat_image.jpg". The spaces can cause some problems and lowercase makes sure that you won't have problems between Windows where filenames are case insensitive and 'Nix (Linux, BSD) where filenames are case sensitive.

cool, thanks for your help. I guess i'm ok because when i look at the script of an image it shows: And its similar with links to my other pages. I guess this version of dreamweaver takes care of this sorta thing?
