Box with red x instead of graphic

Ok… I have been using iWeb and love it, but why when I place an image inline with text. I did what apple says to do:

Choose Insert > Choose, select the file, and click Insert. To make the object inline, place the insertion point where you want the image to appear before you choose Insert. To make the object fixed, click outside the text boxes so that no insertion point is visible before you choose Insert.

I get the dreaded box with a red x inside (PC) or a blue box with a ? in it?

I want to have an image beside the text and have a file (a PDF) link to it for my parents to download, read or print. The only way I have been able to get it to work (were the red x is replaced with the correct image) is to MASK the image. What a PAIN!

I have used a .gif, .png, .jpg and they all give the box with a red x. Please help.

Again I have fixed the issue with a mask on the image, but you can see on the page that I have left other images un-masked to show the issue.

Oh. The image is a blue box with a question mark on my mac and a box with the red x on the school PC (running IE 6)

PLEASE HELP

the problem is that your icons are not there! see this one is not there:

http://www.christianlifeprep.org/CLPS/Images/adobe_icon.gif

the question mark shows up when the file is not there!


THE SOLUTION: while you uploaded your site, you probably forgot to upload a folder named IMAGES. be sure to upload this along with all the other files!


this will solve it,

The image it's looking for is

http://www.christianlifeprep.org/CLPS/Images/adobe_icon.gif

Your other images are in the Document_files directory.

Like this one

In my experience, files that get copied to the Images directory may get removed when not publishing that particular page. The only workaround I have for this now is to change the dimensions of each of those "adobe_icon"'s by one. This will force iWeb to render them to the Documents_files directory and they should show up from that point on.
