Well, I had a second look at the reviews page. You are actually solving the problems by doing the exact opposite of that you should have done. Instead of changing the links in the html doc, you just upload the images to the web folder instead of the images folder. That way it may pretty soon get messy again. But well, it's your site...

What I would have done, is open the reviews.html in the Editor, find all the images, and then change the path, then reupload the reviews.html

An example: for the 'flying duck you have the path:
<img src="ac1110.gif" width="150" height="127" alt="flying duck" border="0" />

Change that to
<img src="images/ac1110.gif" width="150" height="127" alt="flying duck" />
(No slash before the word 'images'!)
These things don't happen 'by themselves', you have to do it manually. It's what I did to all your pages that I sent you.

Inger,


I did it. I didn't know one had to do it manually. The other images worked but the logo didn't until I put in the images/

I still have to finish that code. I used the spacers because the code that I know for a text box, which I use on other pages, didn't work on this one.

I once had a folder named images and one named music on the left hand side of my editor. They disappeared. I am looking to see if I can get them again.

Thank you for your continuing support

The other images worked because you had reuploaded them to the web folder, not to the 'images' subfolder. Then when you changed the path, they worked because the images were in the 'images' folder already. But I see you are on the right track now. :).

If the folders 'disappear' from the left-hand side, you have to navigate to them again. Your Editor is probably set up with a 'working' folder, which is not where you keep ypour site files. You can change that under Tools.

Well Inger I should use projects but I usually have a mix of programs involved. I create web sites like I paint. First I stuff them up then play around with them till I fix them up, part of the fun. Lately though the Wamp folder has become a repository for my sites.

The manual says:

“To create a folder, right-click anywhere in the MY WEBSITES tab and select Create Folder”


In my version, I have to right click on the project FOLDER within the My Websites tab in order to un-grey the create folder line. I click on create folder and...

a folder appears, but I cannot open it and cannot drag anything into it.

I did notice when I was deleting those folders, when I hilighted the offending folder, and double clicked, sometimes a plus would show up in front of that folder.

To move the folder right click on it and select "Move to".
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Wow, THAT was easy!!!

Thank you Eric

I can only read the manual so far before my eyes blur and I sing God Save the King

And so much is not IN the manual.

I'm struggling with something that SOMETIMES works and often doesn't and that's a large text box. I give up sometimes and use a spacer for every line of type, but that is gruelingly slow. I went on the web awhile ago looking for a simple, I mean simple box code, no slider, no fancy text, just a box to make my paragrapsh be groupings and not slammed up against the left hand "wall"

Hiya Bird,

When in doubt, there are always a lot of CoffeeCup Articles (which they have substituted for the in depth manuals) that you can find by going to the top of the page here and mousing over Support.
Then click All Support Articles and you can segregate them by program and search them also. It's quite in depth for help on things :)

Thank you,

I'd been using them earlier, before Inger step up to help. And it's so funny, she wrote and wrote and I read and I read ant not until this one post with 2 lparagraphs did the light bulb go off. And now I'm mucking about in my website like I used to. Right now I'm searching for a text box that will actually work.. A large, simple and strong one. They're out there....Google, google, google.

thank you,
