As suggested, this is almost always a path/transfer problem rather than a Dreamweaver bug. Given ’s note that the uploader won’t create folders and only one button shows after manual uploads, use the checklist below to find the exact failure and fix it cleanly.

  1. Diagnose with the browser: right‑click a broken image → Open image in new tab (or open DevTools → Network and reload). Note the Request URL and HTTP status (404, 403, or a local file:// path). If the URL points to your local disk (C:...), Dreamweaver saved a local path instead of a web path.
  2. Check Dreamweaver site/link settings: define the site so Dreamweaver writes web‑relative paths (document‑relative or root‑relative as you need). Re‑save the pages after changing settings so the src attributes point to web paths, not local locations.
  3. File transfer and filenames: many web uploaders don’t preserve folders. Create the images folder on the server (via FTP or the host file manager) and upload images into it, or keep images in the same directory as the page and use matching src values. Use binary transfer in your FTP client. Verify exact filenames and extensions — servers are often case‑sensitive (banner.JPG ≠ banner.jpg) and spaces/special characters can break URLs.
  4. Quick tests: upload a tiny test image and try to open it directly by URL. Clear cache (Ctrl+F5) and confirm the image URL returns 200. If you get 403, adjust permissions (usually 644 for images).

Troubleshooting snippet (test by creating and requesting this file):

<img src="./test.png" alt="test image">

If the direct URL shows the test image but your page still fails, re-check the HTML paths Dreamweaver generated and re-upload with the same directory structure.

ok on the part about the tables i just figured it out, so ignore that one, but the problem about the uploading to angelfire and geocities is still a problem :)

You uploaded the images too right? If the images are in a folder lets say called "images" on your computer, you must also have an "images" folder on the website.

yes i have an images folder, and here is the weird thing, angelfire's upload thing does not allow me to upload folders, just files, so i tried uploading each file (errr) and now only 1 button comes up. any suggestions, btw the site is

I looked at your site. At the moment you page should have all the images in the same directory as the page. Or you can change the code on your page like this:

<img src="banner.jpg" width="746" height="125">

change to:

<img src="images/banner.jpg" width="746" height="125">

Have fun :)

the reason why i put my images in a different directory is because when i had them all in the same directory i got the same results as you see now, i will try it with different code as you posted an see if i get any results, i will keep ya posted
