Dreamweaver Help PLEASE!!!
I have a Yahoo! Domain name and it came with a program called Yahoo! sitebuilder, a nice program for a simple site but not enough features . So I was looking for an alternative and came up with Dreamweaver, I really got used to that until it came to putting it on the web. For the site I used photoshop to create the whole backround and then I added UNDER CONSTRUCTION to it using macromedia dreamweaver. I tried to use FlashFXP to upload it to the web and I deleted everything off of it first (all folders; all Yahoo! sitebuilder stuff) and I just put my newly designed website (index.htm) I saved onto the website through FTP (not in a folder, just in the main directory). When I went to look at my site it lacked the background, it just had the under construction thing. So how do I upload my site to my Yahoo! Domain.


PS I also tried using Dreamweavers "save to remote server..." and that always comes up with a FTP error or no permission thing.

Is this your site?

http://chadm.net/

And is this your source code?

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Index</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Chad%20%20Mueller/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/P1010299.JPG);
}
-->
</style></head>

<body>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right">UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!</p>
<p align="right">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right">&lt;&lt;&lt; LINKS DONT WORK YET  	</p>
</body>
</html>

If so....you will see this part:

Code:
background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Chad%20%20Mueller/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/P1010299.JPG);
That means your page is trying to pull the background image from your hard drive instead of from a location on the net. Change the url to point to the internet location....

Keep in mind that when you "browse" to insert an image in dreamweaver....you need to browse to the internet address. Not the local address....

I got into the habit of first uploading images to the net before making any links in dreamweaver. Then you can always enter the address easily with a copy/paste rather than browse....

Hey, I have one more question. When I use Macromedia Dreamweaver to edit in the design mode the background is blank, so it is kinda hard to design without seeing the background. Is there any way around that?
