Wow, this was sooo aggrevating:

I made a site in dreamweaver, and uploaded everything to test it out. Called it up on another computer and had EVERYWHERE!

So i re-uploaded the image folder, and checked the links to make sure. Did this 4 times. Rebuilt the index page as a test in a new document, uploaded and STILL! i had red x's So i finally found out what the hell was wrong. Appearantly my links were all "root-based" and not "document" based [see attached image].

So what's the point of making a site with everything root based if it caused such a stir!?

The reason that happened is because your images have a slash in front of them.

src="/image.gif" tells the server to go to the root of the website and look for the graphic.
src="image.gif" tellse the server to look in the same folder as the page that called the image.

Normally the second method would be most commonly used. Once instance where I could think to use the document root method is if you wanted to switch the location of your html files at a later date, but did not want to move your images.
