I am new at this. I am trying to place a header with an image that has links (Hotspots) I designed it with Dreamweaver MX and copied the HTML code but the image does not show up. Do I need to create the image somewhere else. Please Help me before I yell random cuss words at neighbors.

Thanks

Post a link to your forums so we can have a look and try to see what the trouble is.

you're using relative urls to images. hardcode the url for the image and it should work fine.

Right now the url is...

What Ian said and the image probably needed to be located in the non-cgi bin. smile

This whole thing is killing me. I can usually figure things out.
I got the image there now my links are screwed up.
Maybe I'm just trying something that is too advanced for me.
I can make the links work if they are in a table with plain text.
Here is the link

Your image is not complete. This is the path you are using for your image: http://www.brownandkeene.com/ubb/edit

Try and replace it with this:
http://www.brownandkeene.com/ubb/luxury_cruise_talk_Heading.gif

or, you can use the 1 pixel transparent trick. Replace the ubb header image with a 1 pixel transparent image. You can download and use mine if you like: http://ogzr.org/forum/ubb/blank.gif Just don't direct link to it. wink

Good luck!

I think I'm doing pretty much what you want here . <--- Click this. I added this code to the header HTML in the templates;

Code
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="left">
<td background="http://www.netwerkin.com/noncgi/header/netwerk_logo.gif" align="left" valign="top" height="70">

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="center" valign="top">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="http://www.netwerkin.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php">
<img src="http://www.netwerkin.com/noncgi/blank.gif" border="0" height="50" width="200" />
</a>
</td>
<td align="right" valign="top"><font size="1" face="verdana">

I have the images that wrap the tables in there too but I left them out in this example. I hard coded the image and the links.

Damn, Stilgar beat me to it. Maybe my example is a little long winded.

Thats pretty much what I want, I'll just have to redesign it. I am trying to use different hotspots on the image, and it doesn't seem to work.
What program did you use to design yours.

As you can tell I am a Photoshop user who is just getting into the websit thing.

Thanks

I used UltraEdit to do it but Notepad would work just as well. I do all that kind of stuff by hand, no generators or WYSIWYG editors.
