djsnafu,

You haven't given us much to work with. Are you using Visual Site Designer, or the HTML Editor? How did you upload what code you have written that does not seem to work? Do you have an FTP program?

If you want to keep the site secret, then you need to give some information.

If you want you can email a link to the site to me, then just the two of us would know the URL. You can email me at my e-mail address.

Im verry new to this sorta thing sorry, i dont really know exactly what to tell you, exept for whatever you ask...
Im using the html editor. I have not downloaded any pics, but i have already uploded them into the website if that helps?
I do have a ftp server yes...filezilla.
I have already given people the url, and they have been waiting to use the site for months now :(. So i cant open the site until it is ready...unless you think its essential that you visit the site to find out what im doing wrong?
Thank you

djsnafu,

I have no way of telling you what is wrong. You uploaded the html code using Filezilla, so did you use Filezilla to upload the photo? If you did not upload the photo, there is no way for it to display.

I am all out of guesses.

djsnafu,

I really am all out of guesses. I have no idea what you have placed on your web site. It really does not matter what you do on your computer, unless the code and all necessary files are on the web site, you will not have what you want to be displayed.

I know that i am suposedto design the html using coffee cup, and then copy and paste it to my web pages...but how do i make the html?!
Cheers

!. By reading I get the idea you are using CoffeeCup HTML Editor.
When you open your CoffeeCup HTML Editor, at the top of the window it should read "CoffeeCup HTML Editor". Are you using a trial version or did you purchase the software? If you have recently downloaded and installed this sofware on your computer, in the last week or so, it should be CoffeeCup HTML Editor 2008.
All CoffeeCup Software has free upgrades after purchase the software is registered.

2. First you need to study your workspace in Editor. In the right hand area, you should see three tabs - Code Editor - Visual Editor - Preview. Which tab did you click on to start working with your page?

a. If you are using the first tab - Code Editor - you will need to know at least basic HTML coding to insert images, photos, text, and etc into your page.
b. If you are using the second tab - Visual Editor - you can copy/paste or drag your photo to your page and Editor will create the html for you.

BillR has done excellent with explaining what to do to insert images into your pages and for uploading to your server.

Did you actually upload your files to a server through your filezilla? We can understand that you may not want the site published for official viewing to your client, but in order to help you, we need to see what exactly is your problem with your site.

Why don't you copy and paste your code here, so we can see what you are doing?

So in conclusion --
1. Did you purchase HTML Editor?
2. Which Tab in the Editor are you working in? HMTL Editor or Visual Tab?
3. Did you upload all of your images and html file to your website space with a FTP Upload software like Filezilla?
4. If you do not want to post a URL, copy and past your code here, so we can see what you have done.

No i downloaded it from your site. I have just downloaded a 30 day trial of the 2008 version.
I am working in the visual tab, but copying & pasting the html from the html tab.
I had uploaded the pictures into my site a long time ago, but i have just pasted the html into the apropriate box in my site (so i havent uploaded the html via ftp).
Here is the html i have made (thank you):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

From looking at your code, the size of your picture is 680 pixels wide. That is a very large picture and would take up most of a 800px width page.
Most pages are designed now for 1024x768, but the content is centered at 790px width, within this width of 1024, to allow people that still use 800 x 600 screen resolutions.

You stated earlier:

Basicly i want a photo to sit on top of the background (wich is plain grey on every page)...and to sit approx 2inches from the top of the page, so that it does not overlap the header.

1. Based on your statement above; if you want a picture to be inserted into your page and not cover your header, then your picture is going to have to be much smaller. I am assuming that your header would have your text.

2. By working in the Visual Mode in HTML Editor 2008, the visual mode is writing your code for you and you can see what it has done by looking on the HTML Tab. You don't copy/paste any html code. The code you see in the HTML Tab is the code that the VISUAL Mode wrote as your inserted your picture and text.

Once you get comfortable with coding, you then hand code to add what the Visual mode does for you. But there is no need for copy/pasting.
