Last night, all was fine, today,...
Went to sleep last night, all was fine...came home from work today, opened html editor 2007....now images don't preview in the editor. I have the urls correct, if I type them in, they work fine in my browser, but not in my previewer. I was using html editor 2007, so then I thought, maybe I have to upgrade...downloaded 2008, same thing...no matter which template I open, none of my images are viewable in the previewer, for example, this one...
http://www.retroboutiques.com/limitedte … lue/bg.jpg
Shows up in my browser, but it is one of the images in one of my templates that do not show up....why? I've made no changes to this template, and it worked fine until today...help? I have lots of sites to work on and rely on the previewer!

This is what I see:

I see you are using absolute picture URLs, that may cause the no-show in preview.
I.e. this url:
<img src="http://www.retroboutiques.com/images/template/juneheader.png"> is unnecessary because you have your site at http://www.retroboutiques.com/, so the reference to the image doesn't have to be more than
<img src="images/template/juneheader.png">
A good advice that I got once long ago when I had similar trouble, and which I have been following slavishly ever since, is to make up a folder structure in your 'working' folder similar to what you intend to use on the web. For instance, if you make a folder 'retroboutiques', and in it a subfolder 'images' and inside that again a sub-subfolder 'templates', then you can reference the contents of the 'templates' folder just as I did above. You won't have any preview problems with that, and when you upload, you just upload the whole structure.

Thank you for the response, the odd thing is that I have been using the html editor for 2 years now, always had absolute urls because after I transfer to a client, I just do a find and replace with their urls. I guess whats confusing is that I have done nothing different, yet the previewer can no longer find it with the absolute url, it always found it in the past, as a matter of fact, the night before I had previewed that very same template just fine, went to sleep, woke up, and now it doesn't preview...thats whats odd...
Some of my pages have absolute URLs for the images. I will give it a test when I get home to see if it works for me.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
