Random Image-- Image not loading

[Jas]

Look at the www.sweets-n-treats.com source

I am almost finished with a website that I did for Sweets & Treats, but the random image script will not bring up the files (hence the blank box in the middle). It did off line, so I messed the addresses and what-not. The other javascripts work on the site, but not this one =(

The irony is that it's such a simple script! :p

Anyone know what's wrong with it?

Thanks!

You need the http protocol at the beggining of each image source.

Good suggestion, but it didn't work. . .
It still is not finding the images =(

I also tried "./" instead of "http://www.sweets-n-treats.com/", but that did not work either. Any other ideas?

If you are talking about files like this one:


http://www.sweets-n-treats.com/S5030164.JPG

You have it listed as:


http://www.sweets-n-treats.com/S5030164.jpg

Upper and lower case matter on the web.

Jas,

Nowadays people want webpages that work. You really shouldn't use .bmp (bitmaps) anymore; they don't compress the filesize.
.bmp take longer to load!

try this logo attached. It is a .gif version of your .bmp.

Your .bmp was 700kb, the .gif is 20kb. See the difference? Thats 3500% difference!

You won't notice the difference when testing offline because the image is fetched from your computer, not the server.

GIF is usually for animated images.

In your posts you should be more constructive.
Like:

I would recomend using .png for static images. .gif are used for moving images.

But thanks for the heads up.

Thanks everyone! You all were really helpful, but I figured it out. It was the .JPG instead of .jpg, as you all said, but I figured it out before I read the posts, so I can keep some pride.

I though I knew HTML better then that. . .

Thanks again!
