Images not showing on web server

[developer155]

Maybe someone here can help me with this:
I created my web site and purchased hosting.
Then I uploaded by html and gif files to the ftp site they provided.
I transfered the images in the folder that they were in on my PC, folder is called images( I use a little app called FTP Commander)
It looks like all the images are on their server in images folder under

http://www folder

All my HTML pages are in

http://www folder.

The problem is I do not see images on the website, only white boxes
Here is how I reference the images:
/images/SomeIMG.gif

and again my code in in

http://www folder

that contains images folder
What am I doing wrong? THe provider does not have phone support and I have been waiting for the responce to my email for 3 day


thanks for any help!!!

try

images/SomeIMG.gif

i.e. without the leading '/'

Some servers are case sensitive when it comes to file names. As a habit, I use all lower case letters for file names and make sure that the files are referred to in the HTML code with lower case names.

Another thing to take into account is lower and upper caps. If you are using a windows box at home, SomeIMG.gif is same as someimg.gif or SomeIMG.GIF, while the hosting might use a *nix box which makes a distinction between those. So make sure the names of the images you uploaded are spelled exactly the same in the html code.

Does this site have a URL? Maybe we can tell what's going wrong if we see the site.

Chris, yes, it is

I made sure the font matched in html and in names of images, but still no luck

thanks all you guys for help

You're using windows style folder delimiter, which is backslash. On the net, you need to use slash for that. Changing your img tag to display:

<IMG SRC="Images[b]/[/b]Illustrations[b]/[/b]Main.jpg" HEIGHT="450">

will make it work.
