Uploading files to FreeWebHostingArea
February 28, 2013 10:49AM
I created my basic webpage and it displays my image, name and student number fine, but as soon as i upload it to FreeWebHostingArea my image disappears? Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

There could be a zillion reasons I am afraid. It is like asking - my car would not start this morning.... why? See what I am saying? You need to be more specific. See the sticky post on Images not showing - read through that topic for possible reasons, or provide more information. For example

Look for the picture file that is not showing - is it in the place where yout html file says it should be?

For example:
Your html has
<body bgcolor="#cccc99" background="graphics/txtured_bg.gif">
Do you have a subfolder underneath your html file called graphics and is there a file called txtured_bg.gif in that graphics folder?

The filenames case only applies once you have uploaded your files to the osprey server - Windows is filename case insensitive

If we have to list all possible reasons here, this response would be 1000 pages long....! So just work through that topics, and/or be more specific if you can

Have you uploaded the image to your FreeWebHostingArea?
Because if you haven't done that, it won't be able to find the picture...

Good start...! Also make sure it does not point to your own hard drive!

I had a similar problem. I tried to create a /graphics/ folder and upload the picture into it. It loaded fine then said that it couldn't find the graphics folder.
Then i found that when the site is set up an images folder is created for you. (you'll find a link to it just under the upload button after you've logged into ftp server)
I uploaded them into there, edited my index.html file and all worked wonderfully.

On File Manager where you uploaded your index, an images directory is automatically created. Drop your image in there.

Hope this helps.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I created a txt file, saved it as index and uploaded it onto Free Webhosting website.
When I go onto my website, on the left it has files to select and I select "index". Once I click on index,
it opens up my file but its showing all the codes I typed as well. For example <html> and everything else.
I am making sure that I use the opening and closing tags of the codes.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help me guyssad smiley

If you provide a URL like mysite.co.za, the first file a server looks for, and loads, is index.html. In index.html you can add navigation links to other pages which are not index.html files.

HI All
(Image not showing on URL)

This does not make any sense, any genius out there who can help out to explain on how my image can be shown on my URL & the rest it fine (Names & student Number).
I can only view my image through my C Drive.

I've tried the following but still no luck
1. I Uploaded my image into freeoda.com image folder & My index.html its fine
Heres my code
<IMG SRC= "images/soweto3.jpg" ALT="soweto cooling tower" HEIGHT=350 WIDTH=250>

2. Then I tried it this it this way....
I've delete the image folder and uploaded my image directly to root but still no luck
Heres my code
<IMG SRC= "soweto3.jpg" ALT="soweto cooling tower" HEIGHT=350 WIDTH=250>

There is anything that is incorrect for this not showing on my URL

Thanks

You need to put quotation marks " " around you're height and width values for proper syntax smiling smiley

So try <IMG SRC= "soweto3.jpg" ALT="soweto cooling tower" HEIGHT="350" WIDTH="250">

Hope that works grinning smiley

This might sound trivial, but give it a try. When uploading my image, the filename was changed from myfile.jpg to myfile.JPG.
Look closely at your image filename and use it EXACTLY as it has been uploaded - it is CaSe sEnSitiVe.
I am taking a stab here, but your source should probably be:
<IMG SRC= "soweto3.JPG" ALT="soweto cooling tower" HEIGHT="350" WIDTH="250">

But to be save - make sure how it has been saved on the server.

Hope this will help

The cases of the images and the cases of the code is exactly the same? Sometimes a server changes the case to .JPG for example.

Thank you all guys

The .JPG did not work
by suggesting to check how it have been saved was the correct way "How Sensitive is this server"

The problem was the first letter Soweto was on a capital letter while I coded on small caps ...... "very sensitive"

It all working fine ...... Then I can submit my assigment

Thanks Again

Juts in case someone else reads this wrong- you should not save it as .JPG - servers sometimes changes it to uppercase during the upload - rare, but it happens.

Hi guys

I'm also having problems upload images to my site.

See my html code below. I've tried the jpg and JPG file extension, and check my cases but still does not work. Just shows a broken image in the browser. Please help. 

Language: HTML
<img src="images/red.JPG" width="200" height="200" alt="red">

Hey people,

I have had a problem with my image but I sorted it out...

If you have uploaded your image to site but it still doesn't want to show, then you should look at the size of the image.
If the image size is larger then 72ppi then the image will also not show.

Maybe that will help a few of you

Kind regards

That wasn't the case for me, when I first uploaded my image it was larger than 72ppi and it worked fine. (It does take longer to download though)
But I did reduce my image size down to 72ppi because that is the highest quality that a web page can display it as, if you upload a larger image it will automatically display in 72ppi.
Therefore I reduced my image size so that it would fully download quicker, but I can confirm images larger than 72ppi will still display, however it will download the full image and only display in a 72ppi resolution.

Y'ello Warren,

Have you uploaded your image into the IMAGE folder on the FTP drive? See previous posts. If yes, check that the spelling is correct as that of the folder on the FTP site.

Regards,

M

You images may refuse to show for a few reasons.
1. The images folder or the image may be missing from the server.
2. The images folder may be starting with a capital letter, so make sure its in small letters.
