Hi
I'm having a problem that I can't seem to find any help with. I have reated a new HTML page in Dreamweaver and have put in a table. I have inserted an images as normal in one cell and then in another I have created a dropdown menu using SPRY. When I view the page on a browser, the dropdown menu works perfectly, but the image that I inserted, is missing. (comes up with the cross in the top left corner). PLESE PLEASE PLEASE can you help, this is my last hope!
Thanks
Nat

As and suggested, the broken-image icon indicates the browser could not load the file referenced in the page. Below are focused, practical checks and isolation steps that go beyond "check the path" and help find whether the problem is a simple file-location issue, a Dreamweaver/site-root mismatch, or an interaction with the Spry menu assets.

Open the image URL directly in the browser to see the HTTP status or raw output. Use the browser DevTools (Network tab) to confirm a 200 response and correct MIME type. Inspect the DOM (right-click -> Inspect Element) after the page finishes loading to verify the <img> tag and its src were not altered by scripts. Verify relative vs absolute paths and any <base href> on the page, and remember that servers are case-sensitive while Windows is not, so filename capitalization and correct extension (.jpg/.jpeg/.png) matter. Test the file over HTTP (not file://) because Dreamweaver previews can hide deployment mismatches. Temporarily disable Spry JS/CSS or move the image outside the Spry container to see if initialization or CSS is interfering. Also check that the image file is actually uploaded to the tested site folder and has read permissions.

A quick isolation trick: create a minimal HTML page with only the image tag in the same folder and load it from the same preview method (HTTP). If it loads there, reintroduce the table and Spry menu step by step to locate the exact change that breaks the image.

Sounds like a broken image, check the path.

I agree with cmills83 you need to check the name of the picture u are using and make sure that is matches with the path if the name of the image dose not match it will not show because it is not looking at the correct file so yes check the path
