Unable to browse to images using browser

    Hi all,

    I am currently developing some script to incorporate floating social media icons on my blog. I have the images that I require and these are located in my images folder that I uploaded using FTP.

    However, when I declare the image source URL, it does not find it and when trying to browse to the image using Internet Explorer, I get a 404 error message.

    I have tried uploading the images to different folders but I can’t seem to browse to them. Can anyone offer any advice or assistance for this?

    Thanks,

    Darren

  • how, exactly are you doing it? What does your img src code look like?

    Hi Rev. Voodoo

    My code looks like this:

    img src=”https://www.spanishfootballtips.co.uk/images/follow.png

    I have tested the above code with a random link to an image of a page that I know works and it will display it on my page no problem, but when I use the link above it will not work. There must be some problem with it finding my image but I don’t understand why as I have uploaded the image into my image folder but when I browse to my side address followed by /images/follow.png it will display a 404

    To clarify further,

    For example, Say I have a website called https://www.testwebsite.co.uk

    Within this site I have a folder named ‘Images’ and in this folder I upload all of the images that I wish to use on my site. I upload a twitter icon and name it follow us.png.

    In my sidebar code, I have Javascript which powers floating social media icons (facebook, rss, twitter etc). When I put the address to the twitter icon in my images folder I enter the following:

    https://www.testwebsite.co.uk/Images/follow us.png

    This link should tell my website to display the follow us.png icon in my Images folder, but it doesn’t display it.

    I decide to test the icon and enter the address to the picture in my web browser. I enter in the following:

    https://www.testwebsite.co.uk/Images/follow us.png

    I am then taken to a 404 not found error page. I don’t understand this as the image is in the above location but I can’t get it to display on my website, nor can I browse to it when I use the full address. I’m sure this is a simple fix as I’m probably missing out a vital step but if someone could let me know how I can achieve this I would be grateful.

    Thanks

    Hmm…that is strange. I see exactly what you are saying. I can see the url of your header image by inspecting your code, but I cannot directly access your image by url

    Does your host have some sort of hotlinking protection which may be interfering?
