Images on my website can only be viewed in Safari.....why!?


I am new to making websites. I am using Dreamweaver 8 on an iBook G4 Mac to make my site. I am simply trying to post a single image as a "preview/coming soon" announcement for the site. I followed the tutorial very closely. I am using Cyberduck as an FTP Client.

I started by making an image on photoshop (with a resolution of 72) then I saved it as a JPEG to my desktop. I then inserted that image onto my HTML in Dreamweaver, and saved it to my local files folder. Next, I uploaded it to Cyberduck and published it. The site appears perfect in Safari, but the image won't appear in Firefox, and in Internet Explorer it just shows a little red "x". I have no idea what I'm doing wrong! Please help!

I'll assume that you actually did upload the image file as well as the HTML, since you're following the tutorial.

Check the HTML code for errors. Does your image tag look like this? ...

<img src="image.jpg">Coming Soon">

If so, then the image needs to reside in the same folder as the HTML file.

If the image file name includes a full path, make sure that it's a path to an actual domain name and not the file on your local machine.

You might also want to see if the browsers can view the image DIRECTLY , without the HTML. For instance

http://example.com/image.jpg

(include any subfolders in the URL as needed)

Lastly, verify that the image is indeed a JPG (JPEG)... sometimes imaging software will let you save under a different extension, without actually modifying the TYPE of the file. Not likely to be the issue, but I'm including it here just in case.

You have to upload the IMAGE FILE, also and link to where it is on the site.

Your way it's only visible on your computer.
