Dreamweaver 8 and Tracing Image

scoobie_wrc · 5 May 2006 at 18:37

just started messing about with my isp webspace

created a crappy index page and put a tracing image in it, it looks ok in dreamweaver but when ever i try to preview it in a broswer the image isnt there, uploaded it to see if it worked online but its not there but the text is, what am i doing wrong? :confused:

Sounds like the src attribute of your <img> tag is pointing to the file on your local computer rather than the image on the webserver.

If the image is in the same directory as the index file, for example:

Code:

<img src="tracingimage.jpg" alt="..." />

checked the code and found this

"<body tracingsrc="bg.jpg" tracingopacity="26">"

bg.jpg if the trace and the transparacy is 26 so its there just not showing it in the broswers :confused:

Ah, I misunderstood "tracing image". That's something I've not seen before. It's certainly not valid HTML and from what I can see it's actually proprietary Dreamweaver code. It won't show up in browsers, because they don't recognise those attributes.

It's meant to be used only in the design-view of DW http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=44642
