Review Request: A Personal/Family Homepage
I am using Coffee cup pro as my Html editor along with a scripting program called Snap Gallery which enables me to create a user friendly display of my family pictures. I have two folders on my side of the internet fence: My Coffee Cup Web page folder which contains my index.html file (as reguested by my server) and my Vacation Pics folder which contains jpeg images of the same.
I can load my index.html file up to the server and its great! (Thanks to the help from you "guys." Please feel free to visit the site at:
http://users.adelphia.net~zychd/
Snap gallery asks for a folder that contains the pics (Vacation pics folder) and then creates a script for presentation. It asks for a file name so in order to differentiate it from the index.html file which is my main "splash page" i gave it the name "vaca2002.html."
I can upload this file to my server and it works great.
The problem is that when I want to create a link in my index.html file to the vaca2002.html file the link works when I simulate it on my computer, but after uploading to the server, when I click on the hyperlink I get an HTTP 404 server error. The link cannot be found?
What am I doing wrong??? Separate ok....linked no good....
Should I put all the files in the same folder??? Am I not uploading correctly????
One other note. I noticed that the first line of the html code that the snap gallery creates reades as follows:
I have no idea what this means but could this be part of the problem?
Please help, I come a long way in the last week but I think I need another push...
Thanks Dave

Here is the link to your site. You left out the "/" after the .net in the URL above.
http://users.adelphia.net/~zychd/
And here is the link to your pics.
http://users.adelphia.net/~zychd/vaca2002.html
I noticed that the link on your web page is:
http://users.adelphia.net/~zychd/Vacation%20Pics/vaca2002.html
Remove the part in bold in your html link. Looks like you didn't upload the vaca2002.html file to your Vacation Pics folder.
Also, (for future reference) if you will notice, there is a "%20" in the URL....this is there because you have a space in the file path. If you should need a space in a file path, it helps to put an underline to fill in that blank space, like so:
Vacation_Pics

I was thinking...you probably want the vaca2002.html to be in the Vacation_Pics folder so all you need to do is make sure that yyou upload it to that folder.

If you want to keep images and html files separately then your set up is fine as it is but just be careful with your linking as Sonia said don't have links with spaces in them and always think where things are relative to the root folder and the page you are linking from.

Oh goodness. I just realized that I left out something in reference to the "%" stuff in the URL in my last post. It should be "%20". I will go back and edit that so that there is no confusion.

Not sure what you mean by "ignore setting up a link".
Can you elaborate on that a bit?
It looks like you have all of your images and .html files inside the folder named ~zychd/
Here is the file path of one of your vacation images:
http://users.adelphia.net/~zychd/Ausable%20Chasm2.JPG
Notice that the image, "Ausable Chasm2.JPG" is in the "~zychd" folder.
If you want your vacation images in the Vacation Folder, you will have to upload them to that folder and then make sure that you have the file path correct when you do your hyperlinks. If you create a hyperlink (link) and it doesn't work, then you either have the file path incorrect or the image is not in the folder that you think it is in.
Gee, I hope I am not confusing you. Tell me if I am and I will shut me trap.
If this doesn't help, just keep posting. We'll figure this thing out eventually.

zychd: d-m answered that one in her first response. You've got a bad link on your main page. It should read:
http://users.adelphia.net/~zychd/vaca2002.html
