How do I turn off this automatic function?

[CWSites]

When I try to point to an image Dreamweaver puts up
<img src="../Basic Services Inc./images/paper
shredding/INTIMUS/thumbnail/INTIMUS 14.90.jpg">
But all I want is
<img src="images/paper shredding/INTIMUS/thumbnail/INTIMUS 14.90.jpg">

How do I fix this?

1. You should never use spaces in file/pathnames.
2. When DW gives you that link, it's because that is the CORRECT path to
the file from your current file's location to the target file's location.
DW will manage that link for you and will adjust it if you save (or move)
this file (using the Files panel) to a new location.

So - why is DW's normal behavior a problem for you?

the file that I'm trying to add the images to is in the same root folder "Basic
Services Inc." the images are in other folders thus the "images/paper
shredding/INTIMUS/thumbnails/filename.jpg" This is a problem for me because
when I do upload it to the web, the directory for the image is "../Basic
Services Inc. " etc, when it should be the other. It has never done this with
any other site that I've created, why is it doing this now?

I don't really have spaces in the image name, I was just using it as an
example before I renamed it.

[Murray *ACE*]

If your local site's folder structure is not an exact replica of the remote
site's folder structure you are going to have big problems.

Create a new page. Do not save it. Insert an image from inside this
folder, and copy the code. Paste it into a reply to this message so I can
see the path to the image, please.

<img src="file:///D|/Custom Web Sites/Websites/Basic Services
Inc./images/papershredding/INTIMUS/INTIMUS1490.jpg" width="100" height="160" />

If I don't save the file this is the code that it puts in.

[Murray *ACE*]

OK - now -

Please go to SITES | Manage Sites..., select the site name, and click on
Edit. Click on the Advanced tab at the top. Tell me the following -

Under LOCAL INFO
----------------------------
The contents of "Local root folder:"

D:\Custom Web Sites\Websites\Basic Services Inc.\

[Murray *ACE*]

Then I don't see a problem.

When you save your unsaved page in the root of the site, that link will be
managed to look like this -

<img src="images/papershredding/INTIMUS/INTIMUS1490.jpg" width="100"

or this if you have elected to use root relative links for the site -

<img src="/images/papershredding/INTIMUS/INTIMUS1490.jpg" width="100"

If you would save the unsaved page in a folder that is two levels BELOW the
root of the site, the link would be managed to look like this -

<img src="../../images/papershredding/INTIMUS/INTIMUS1490.jpg" width="100"

or this if you are using root relative links -

<img src="/images/papershredding/INTIMUS/INTIMUS1490.jpg" width="100"

See what I mean?

[CWSites]

I understand this, my problem is that the site folder name is "Basic Services
Inc." all of the files are in this folder, all of the page files and image
folders. so when I direct an image to load on a page that is saved out in the
open, it should read "images/filename.jpg" however, mine isn't. It is reading
"Basic Services Inc./images/filename.jpg" below is how my folders are set up.
The capitalized are folders. The image, "intimus1490.jpg" is being put onto
"products.html" I can post a screen shot if needed.

BASIC SERVICES INC. (folder)
-index.html
-products.html
-IMAGES (folder)
---------PAPERSHREDDING (subfolder)
---------------INTIMUS (subfolder)
----------------------intimus1490.jpg
---------PAPERHANDLING (subfolder)

[Murray *ACE*]

Can't happen if by "out in the open" you mean a page that is not within the
root folder of the site. DW will just not do this.

[CWSites]

when I say "out in the open" I mean, it's inside the BASIC SERVICES INC. folder
with the other files and folders. If the file is saved inside of the BASIC
SERVICES INC. folder then why is dreamweaver acting like it is outside of it by
saying "BASIC SERVICES INC./IMAGES/PAPERSHREDDING/INTIMUS/intimus1490.jpg?"

here is a link to my screen shot, you can see the layout easier, keep in mind
the .html document that I am putting the image into is the "INTIMUS.html" at
the bottom.

[url]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/themooron/Random/dreamweaver.jpg[/url]

[Murray *ACE*]

1. Create a new page when connected to this local site.
2. Drop an image from within this site onto the page.
3. Paste the code here before saving the page.
4. Save the page within this site - anywhere within the site.
5. Paste the code here again after saving the page.

That will tell us if DW is functioning properly.

[CWSites]

<img src="file:///D|/Custom Web Sites/Websites/Basic Services
Inc./images/papershredding/REXEL/REXEL2150.jpg" width="300" height="409" />

that is before it is saved,

<img src="../Basic Services Inc./images/papershredding/REXEL/REXEL2150.jpg"
width="300" height="409" />

that is after it is saved inside the folder

[CWSites]

also, here is what it looks like when the picture is in, it works without the
".../Basic Services Inc/" when I type it in as just "images/papershredding"...

[url]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/themooron/Random/dreamweaver2.jpg[/url]

[Murray *ACE*]

Tell me again what the path is to the Local root folder from your site
definition, please?

Local Root Folder D:\Custom Web Sites\Websites\Basic Services Inc.\

[Murray *ACE*]

Something is wrong. If "Basic Services Inc" appears in your path to the
local root folder, then it CANNOT appear in the link after you save the
file.

Try defining a NEW site definition that point to the same location with the
same remote info, and see if you still have the problem doing this last
test, please.
