updating my website

[johnnydav]

Hi,

I have a website and I recently changed all the its user interface, but when I upload my files into the web server and I try to see my updated website on the air, few things do not appear as they should.

I am not able to see the background, only the buttons.(which are javascripted)

This has never happened to me before, since, as far as I know if I follow some basic steps, I should be able to see my website as I had it on my local computer
1. I did not change any of the files paths (I uploaded everything as it was on my computer)

if someone can help on this, i will appreciate it

thanks

If your using the file paths from your computer, as in their on your computer not online.

For example(on your computer):


file:///C://users/image.png

Instead of:


http://mywebsite.com/image.png


Then thats one reason.

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.
Please include your code so that we can take a look at it, we can't do much without it. When you do post your code remember to use [code] tags. That includes [ html ], [ code ], and [ php ].

yeah
I need to check on that, but the wierd thing is that I am using a linked css attached into the html page and on this case i am using dreamweaver, on the css the path appears like this

css
(on my computer)
BODY: background(Images/bodybackground.jpg)

so if i upload that background as it is on my computer
and I try to access the www.mywebsite.com/problem.html
the css file should pull up the information from (webserver) /www/images/bodybackground.jpg

besides the old page was uploaded the same way using dreamweaver and an ftp client as the uploader and it did not give me any
problem

one difference between the old and new page is that I added a jpeg background into the BODY(repeat-x) with a repeatable gradient and there is a new ID with the main background on jpeg aswell containing almost all the page design (no-repeat, horizontal position center, vertical position center) all of this on the attached css file

I cannot post the page information here, but I think that this info may help, if not please let me know

thanks for your reply I really appreaciate it

Not really helpful, the only way I could help is to see your page.

You have to make sure your images are online, in the correct location, in this case:
yoursite.com/images/bodybackground.jpg
