In dreamweaver I created a template. I want to apply this template to a page but when I do so dreamweaver changes the code of the image source so the images do not show up.

For example. In my template I have
<img src="../test/Templates/new_images/test_e.gif"

But when I go into a page and apply this template the code changes to:
<img src="/test/Templates/new_images/test_e.gif"

So basically its getting rid of the ..

I went to preferences and removed "Code rewriting" but it still does this.

Anyone know why its doing this?

Thanks, Jason

 

My GF uses that all of the time, but she is in Atlanta on business and can’t be reached. I’ll try to remember to ask her when I talk to her later though.

 

That would be cool. I even registerd on a dreamweaver site to find out the problem. I have been trying to figure it out for 3 days and I am ready to punch my monitor. LOL

 

Im actually in a class for dreamweaver right now, but its not going to be over for another few months. ill let you know then.

My web page info ends at coding it in notepad but why do you want the '..'? I could imagine why, but I have never used that. Perhaps DW doesnt know what it is supposed to do so it gets rid of it

Because the files that I need to pull are in a couple of folders back. The .. tells it to go look back in the folder for the files. It also hase to do with something about absolute and relative links if I am not mistaken.

 

Try opening the the page in Notepad and putting the code there properly.



I used to do that all time. Get stuff setup in Dreamweaver, then grab my trusty html reference book and correct the code, plus delete all the extra crap that they put in there.

 

I have to keep it in dreamweaver using templates because it is for work and there are hundreds of pages.

I do have ways to get around it like remove the non-editable regions and fix the cod emyself but then the templates become useless again.

 

and this is why DW is usless, HTML (notepad style) is better and php is teh winn3r.

I agree. There are so many little problems with DW. It cam be your best friend or your worst enemy

You need to define your site, to include the directory.

 

Song by Gary Wright

I've just closed my eyes again.
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train.
Driver take away my worries today.
And leave tomorrow behind.

(chorus)
Ooh dream weaver.
I believe you can get me through the night.
Ooh dream weaver.
I believe we can reach the mornig light.
.......

Sorry, the devil made me do it.

 

The site is defined. Unless I am doing it wrong.

 

Local Root_Folder

Have you used forward slashes instead of backslashes?

Have you read Linking and Navigation Overview/About documents locations and paths, in the help file. (DW 4.0)

Must have something to do with your relative/absolute path settings I think.

Succes.
