Dreamweaver MX: Why has the background & links disappeard on my 3rd page when I link to it from my homepage?


I am now on the 3rd page of building my site. So far everything was going well, and I often check to `preview in browser' (F12) to make sure everything is working. I have the same background on all pages. However, once I had almost completed my 3rd page I previewed it and all seemed okay, including the background, the additional links and everything seemed fine, but when I clicked on the link to it on the homepage, the graphics were still there, but the background had gone along with the additional links, which were now represented with blank boxes with red X's. What's going on. It was okay before???

Where exactly are you storing the specification of your links? In each page? Or in a separate style sheet (CSS)? If you're not using an external style sheet, I highly recommend starting to do so now, while you've only got three pages. Then, when you find yourself needing to change the appearance of something for your whole site, you only need to do so ONCE instead of editing each page.

As to the red Xs, that's an indicator that the browser was unable to find the images that are being referenced. How are you referencing the links to the images? Relative? Or absolute?

RELATIVE
<img href="image.jpg">
(same folder)

<img href="images/image1.jpg">
(sub-folder)

<img href="./images/image1.jpg">
(in a sibling images folder, residing in the same parent folder as the current folder)

<img href="/images/image1.jpg">
(in an images folder residing in the document root folder, so it's semi-relative, because it's always in reference to the document root, but will work if you switch domains)

ABSOLUTE
<img href="http://example.com/image.jpg">
(specific image file in a specific domain)

Refresh your browser and double-check all your links/paths.

did you move the source directory for all of your linking graphics? if so that's definitely the problem and you need to relink them all. The little red Xs are your browsers way of saying it can't find that specific image. hit F12 and then refresh.

check your background images that its linked or not, & check all proper links that you add in it.be carful about images also dont move them to any folder or place. then all will fine
