So I am a newbie's newbie (no surprise) and I just made an incredible booboo.

I just created my first site with dreamweaver MX with most of my links being image links. Now I am ready to upload and I realize that my images are showing different sources. I created different folders for my pages and for various images and put the folders into one unit folder which I assumed would be my root folder. Ofcourse my main image folder is not showing in the root folder so I suppose that is a main problem. However, some of the images are also being pulled from other source folders.

My code is showing different sources like

<img src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/abby/Desktop/images/spacer.gif"

and

<img name="IleAbiye20html20220pg_r2_c1" src="../images/IleAbiye20html20220pg_r2_c1.jpg"

I tried changing the source in the code manually which made some images appear but still others didn't work. When I try to save any changes, another page template is created.
I get different error messages that say the local root folder doesn't exist or that the changes made are being done outside of the root folder, or that the folder has been moved. When I try to move the different images folders into the root folder where the pages are, all the images disapear.

Did I mention that I seem to have lost my original template page since the page that I have ending in .dwt has broken paths other than my template pages which are currently un-editable (is thst a word?)! Short of shooting myself I'm looking for help.

So please any suggestions at this point is more than welcome!!!

Abby,
It sounds like you should have made an <b>images</b> or <b>graphics</b> folder in the beginning and put all of your images there. You may still have to do that just to keep everything neat and easy to find. Once you add an image folder to your root folder put all your graphics there. Then simply click the picture (or place holder) on the page then look at the bottom in the properties field and you will see a text field named <b>Link</b> with target icon and folder icon to the right of the field. Open your new folder with the images and left-click on the target icon and drag it to the file name and it will make the link. If you use the folder icon and it tells you the image is outside the root folder and do you want to move it there - put it in your new image folder at the root.
Hope that helps
Jim

That helped a lot. Thanks!
