uploading, getting started

Using the highslide editor, I tried to upload the HS files directly to my site, but couldn't get it to recognize my ftp address. So, I made my edits and then publish>downloaded the zip file to my desktop, unzipped and dragged the resulting HS folder into the root of my site in my Expression Web 3. Then put in the code on the heading and the image code in the body of my page and pubbed up to my site (via ftp throught Expression Web). (In a browser window) when I click on the image, it pops a new page with the full-sized image, but hasn't taken any of the HS style edits I made, such as drop-shadow, close symbol, centered, etc. I've checked to assure that the address for the HS css page matches the code on the photo page, but still can't figure out why it's not obeying the css. ??

This means Highslide doesnÔÇÖt work at all. Can we please see your live page?

Re: uploading, getting started

The paths for all the highslide files are wrong. You have this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="highslide/highslide-with-gallery.js"></script>
<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="highslide/highslide.config.js" charset="utf-8"></script>-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="highslide/highslide.css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="highslide/highslide-ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->
Change it to this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="../highslide/highslide-with-gallery.js"></script>
<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="../highslide/highslide.config.js" charset="utf-8"></script>-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../highslide/highslide.css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../highslide/highslide-ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->
You also need to change the path for hs.graphicsDir. Open the highslide.config.js file and find this line:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = 'highslide/graphics/';
Change it to this:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = '../highslide/graphics/';

Re: uploading, getting started

thank you, thank you. That did the trick. It appears that I just need to watch for that ../ that must precede addresses of pages within my site. Thanks for being there and helping me! You deserve a better name than "Road Rash" :D
