Hello, i am new to webpage design. I have downloaded a template and adapted it to my liking. I can view the page ok using my internal browser.
I uploaded the index.htm page to my new domain. I can see the text, but there are no graphics, only small boxes with red crosses in them.
The image file of the webpage is located in the same folder as the index page.
can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
uksari.

Look at the source code of the HTML. Look at both the image names and the path.
I assume that the images should be in a named folder, and you have them in some other location.
The HTML source code will show you the answer.

Thanks for your help. However, still non the wiser. The source looks ok as the images are stored in "image" folder. I can view the page using IE. But when online the only thing on view is text.
When i uploaded the index.htm page i did not upload anything else. is this correct? and why still no graphics?

Your template probably has the path to the images set relative to your c: drive, maybe. Or you uploaded the images in ascii mode, also possible.
I'd recommend you read up on unix file paths, which is what all websites in the world use, and get comfortable with the basic ideas:
/ = root of file system
../ = up one level
../../ = up two levels
images/01.jpb = get an image from the current directory, from a folder called images.
/images/01.jpg = get an image from the folder images which is located at the root of the filesystem, or user account, or website account folder, depends.
You can only use /images/01.jpg if you are running your site on a server like apache and you have the site setup as a virtual directory, etc.
if the path says something like this:
c:my documentswww folderimage01.jpg
when you upload that it will make no sense to the server, since that path doesn't exist on the server.
If you didn't upload the images of course the images won't show up.
Even better, pick up a copy of O'Reilly presses Web Design in a Nutshell, that's the single best starter reference book I can think of, I only very recently stopped using that one. You can pick that up cheap on amazon as a used book.

Dear.....
you must put the images in global folder.caz you are for the time being giving them reference locally.
so when you will give them global reference then they will be call upon that location where from you are wishing to call them.
with regards.
