Images, File Manager, Insert Image

[Mudpudles]

I uploaded a picture to my file manager under images. It's there and I can even view it. It's also showing up in my public_HTML file.

When I open my index.HTML page using HTML Editor and click on the Insert Picture button some of my pictures are there but some are not.

Why? What am I doing wrong?

In order to help you have to spec. more detailed what you are doing.

Give some links to follow your problem, tell what HTML Editor you are using.

Saying so, I give it a shot and your problem has most probably something to do with your links. Check the links over your "File Editor" inside the file manager.
Check if the links point to the correct location where the pictures are. Be sure that the links are 'exactly' as the picture file name, try to avoid spaces and capital letters.
If some pictures do appear that means that all works fine, it's just a problem in the root from the images who aren't appearing. Are all images in the same file ?

If you can't find out and fix the problem, come back and specify with details what you have done, and what works, and what doesn't work.

I use Microsoft Frontpage and it does that all the time. I just use Preview in Browser. Most of the images show but some still don't. Do they work online?

Just to clarify in case other extremely GREEN people like myself search for this topic:

Within cPanel and my File Manager, I would highlight my index.html page and then click on the "html editor" icon that comes with Hostmonster (I never uploaded any special html editor, but it opens inside a Windows Internet Explorer page if that is what you meant). When I clicked on the "Insert/Edit an Image" icon, some of the pictures would not show up even after uploading them to the image folder inside File Manager.

I figured out my problem! Are you ready for this? I had spaces in my file names. :rolleyes: I didn't know you couldn't have any spaces in the file names. After eight months of not working on my sight due to frustration of not understanding anything about building sites comes down to one, small, tiny, little space! I find much humor in that.

Thanks everyone and I'll try to be more specific with my next problem as I'm sure there will be a "next problem". :p

See, I thought that's some small problem.

Spaces are only doable with a underline (/xxx_sss.pdf) , but with a space the 'reading' of the link doesn't work.

Great you could fix all.
