saving graphics to web

whenever i make an image with slices and upload it to the web it doesnt work. it works fine in the browser window preview in photoshop but not on the real web. is this because i use the free version of geocites or somthing esle?

if you could post the site that would help. One thing to check. Make sure the url's to the files are relative and not pointing to your root drive.

what does 'relative not pointing to your root drive' mean? i'm new at this. thx.

You will want all the pages and files to be contained within a directory. For example:

if you have a dir:

website ---> images.

Those are 2 folders (directories)

You could put all your pages in the website dir, and all the images in the images dir. Then on your html pages when you specify an image it will have the url like this:
images/yourImage.gif


There is a chance (not sure 100%) that your url's might be like this: c:\\Your\Location\To\Your\Folder\Defined\By\Photoshop.

does that make sense? But if you post the link to your site, then we would be able to determine what is the problem, rather than guess.

i hadnt tried ths on a site yet, just some test pages.

thx for the advice, i understend now. i hadnt thought to check that :-). i'll give it a shot

thx again

'k, that didnt work. i have no idea what's wrong. i feel so dumb :-P. here is the test page i made. it should just be a black square with the word 'push' in the middle that links to a site. but when i view it the links work but the pics are only blank squares. any more advice?

Your page (pushslice.html) is in a folder called "test". Your page looks for its pics in the folder called "images" which is a subdirectory of the "test" folder. Ive looked through your source code and most of your file names......they look fine. So what you need to do is double check you have properly uploaded your images to the "images" folder which should be inside the folder named "test". Re-upload if you have to.

I pulled the img src path out of there too and tried to go directly to the images themselves...I don't think they're there (test\images\*.gif/*.jpg)

are you using "\" or "/" ? in your case you need "/" for all of them.

It would be simplest to do it correctly. Leave your pages intact in relation, otherwise you will have to make 2 versions of the same site to compensate for the difference in locations of the directories.

so i have to upload the images seperatly from the sliced document?
