Using Dreamweaver MX04, when I link an image that already exists in my remote image folder to a page, it does not show up in design view, only a small grey box.
When I publish the page, the image displays in a browser. What's going on?
I have had this issue several times in DW and FP. I still don't know why it happens, but I did finally figure out how to stop it when it does happen. I rename the image and for what ever weird reason this works for me every time - until the next time the software monsters take over lol ----- sigh
PS: oops - very sorry ! I reread your post ( it is after 5AM here, and I am tired ), my image issue was the opposite. It would show up in design but not in published. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my end.
If you see a small Grey box, it indicates that the application or the browser can't "see" the actual image. If you see the image in the published mode, the path has been referenced appropriately for that. An example will amplify this:
Assume that you reference an image like this -
In the "published version" the image lives in a directory called as image straight off from the document root directory. On the other hand, in your development computer it lives - let us say - here:(I am using Unix convention here for ease of use)
/projects/project_a/image/
That's one reason why I always install Apache and PHP and use that to browse the website at http://localhost/ or else I locally force a test.example.com domain using the HOSTS file.
