Could you give us a URL? Maybe I (or somebody) can find what the problem is if it's an html problem. When images don't show up it's usually a matter of the path being wrong, or the images spelling not agreeing or the images not being there at all. But I'm not the expert so someone else might have a better understanding.

It looks to me (and I am no expert, mind) that your images were uploaded but not in the folder Images. They seem to be on the root level of your website directory. So if you go to
<http://www.washandgogo.com/totp_01-ImageMap_01_over.jpg>
for instance you will see part of your image map.

The simplest cure would be to go through your html doc and delete every instance of /images. I'd back up a copy and try that. Upload the fixed html and see if it works.

Any html gurus welcome to diss me if I'm full of it.

Or rather, just get rid of Images; forget the slash? Maybe?

Susan,

Glad you got it working... but here's a tip about these forums: Once you find a solution to an issue, please post that solution, even if it is a "simple one," so future visitors seeking help can benefit too. It's what makes the forum search function so useable and avoids people asking the same questions again and again.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Do the images show at all? Look at the html. If there's a path to your hard drive or some other location rather than whatever directory they are in on the web (usually no path is needed if everything's in the same directory) they won't be found by the browser or won't function correctly. Edit out the incorrect paths.
That's my guess anyway. I don't do html in Photoshop.

Hi Susan,

You're not being thick or ignoring forum etiquet... no worries! :)

And I certainly was not implying that you did something wrong, either. In this case, you can save all the extra effort you went through and simple post something like:

"Ed's suggestion to fix the paths worked. Thanks!"

As you mentioned, all the previous posts are in the thread, so it doesn't take much effort for a future visitor to step back to Ed's helpful comments.

Thanks again for all the followup, Susan. And welcome to the forum!
