OK, this is my first website ever, sorry for being so green.

I created it in Dreamweaver, uploaded images and .html to my host via FTP, my .html went into the public .html folder, my images are sitting in the images folder, but when I open site (www.iantakahashi.com/index.html) only my HTML code shows up, the images don't make it.

Also, I've added a quicktime video, it plays fine when I preview, but it won't play when I open it in safari or firefox, I have the latest quicktime, and watch them all the time with both browsers.

anyone have any advice?

thanks

Sorry bro but I really can't help you on this since the link you gave seems to be broken: 404 Error not Found.

If the images don't show-up, kindly check all your <img> tag and maybe you made a typo or other mistakes. Just post here if you still have a question.

A couple of points:

1) On your server, case matters. The actual URL has a capital "I". I suggest using lower case as a general rule.

2) I don't know the rules for getting .mov files to play on a webpage, but with Flash, one needs to use both OBJECT and EMBED tags, so you may want to research there.

3) When creating a link on a page and including the domain (i.e. your nav links), you need to add the http:// part at the beginning for it to work.

4) Your image URLs don't link to correct paths on your site. This could be due to the casing issue I mentioned above, but if they point to a non-existent location, then you'll have problems.

Hope that helps get you started!

You better fix first your site before we can help you in your BROKEN image links.

thank you all.

Not quite there yet. Like all learning, you need to understand the basics before you move on to more complex stuff. Can I suggest you read a basic tutor for html first.

I think your problem might be because you are using relative links, and have got the relationships wrong. Absolute link addresses begin with http:// and can be reached from anywhere. Relative links are relative to the page, and look like this /images/pic.jpg Try using absolute links like this:

<IMG src="http://www.iantakahashi.com/file/file/image.jpg"
ALT="image name">

If I ever have problems like this, I revert to absolute addresses,
and if that works then I know its a relationship problem and can
sort it all out.

It's good to see that the images of your sites are all working. In case of mov files, it seems to be using flash-based videos(like Youtube) will be a lot better.
