Error: Images Not Appearing on My Web PageBelow are some reasons why your images may not be displayed correctly on your Web page. Show
To upload your image files to the server
It is possible that your image files were uploaded correctly to the server, but the server is looking for a different image file name. When you created your Web page, you set up a path and a file name that the server uses to look for the image. In your HTML source code, make sure that image file names are correct in all respects, including letter case. For example, the Web page calls an image with the following tag: When you look at the file you uploaded to the server, you notice the file name is MY_IMAGE.GIF. It is all in upper case. Therefore, the Web page is referencing an image file that doesn't exist. You need to either retype your HTML code in upper case: or you need to rename the file on the server to lower case to coordinate with the HTML page.
It is possible that your image files were uploaded correctly to the server, but the server's path to the image is incorrect. When you created your Web page, you set up a path for the server to look for the image as well as the exact file name of the image. In your HTML source code, make sure that all paths are directed properly. Make sure your path is not something like:
Another problem could be that your server cannot find an image located in a subfolder. If your HTML file is looking for the image in the main folder instead of in a subfolder on the server, your image will not be displayed. For example, you may have uploaded your images to a subfolder called Graphics in the main folder, but your HTML IMG tag looks like this: Because the Graphics subfolder is not referenced in the HTML IMG tag, the server looks in the main folder (or /) but does not see my_image.gif there. The server should be looking for my_image.gif in the subfolder /Graphics (folder names are also case sensitive on the server). To direct the server to the right folder, your IMG tag needs to read
<----- I made my page but my images aren't showing up. All I see are little red X's (or blank spots) where the images are supposed to be. What gives? Ah, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that question. Well, let's just say I'd have a lot of dollars. In short, the browser isn't displaying the image because the browser can't find it using the instructions you gave it. Those instructions are the src attribute of the img tag... Now, there are a few possible reasons why the browser cannot find the image. You might have one problem going on, or all of them. Let's go through the following exercises to see if maybe we can narrow down the problem. First, try putting the image in the same folder as your html document...
This is the simplest way to insert an image. As long as everything is in the same folder, things are pretty simple to find. Possible snags?
Before going on to other possible reasons for your missing image, make sure that you can successfully insert an image as shown above. Ok, Joe, I can do that, but as soon as I put the image into a different folder, I start having troubles. It's very common to place images in a folder other than where your html doc resides. It's all fine and dandy, but just keep in mind that you must tell the browser exactly where to find the image. One little mistake.... and image doesn't show up. Very possibly the cause of your missing image is an improper relative src. Study the following until you understand how to construct a proper src. I understand it can be confusing... but when you have things in different folders, this is just something you'll have to learn. Note that ../ means to go up a folder, ../../ means to go up two folders, etc. Also note that in urls, forward slashes are used --> / Well, Joe... so far so good. Everything works wonderful until I upload everything to my web host. When viewed on the Internet, my images are missing. Or, while I can view my page just fine, my friends all say the images are missing. Well, we're definitely starting to narrow down the problem. It's all downhill from here. First, check for a case problem. Many web hosts are case sensitive. That is, src="mypic.gif" is different than src="Mypic.gif" is different than src="mypic.GIF" is different than src="MYPIC.GIF". I find it's easiest to keep everything lower case. Another possible cause is that you've instructed the browser to look for the image on your own hard drive. This is common with some HTML editors when they insert an image. If you look at your image tags and the src begins with "file"... ...then the web browser is looking on your hard drive for the image. The problem is that when someone else views the page, the browser trys to look on THEIR hard drive for the image as well. Since they don't have the image on their drive, it comes up missing. A proper src is either a relative url (as shown in the illustrations above) or a full url that begins with http:// Chances are about 99.99% that your missing image problem is due to one of the problems shown above. That said, if you've done everything right and still the image no way no how ever shows up, you may have a corrupted image file. It's rare, but it happens. One way to tell is to drag and drop the image file onto a browser window. If the browser displays the image, then it's probably OK. Well, that about covers it. If your images are missing, then somewhere above is your solution. Good luck!
