A link to your site would be a big help. Without that, we're just shooting in the dark.

Well, there's certainly no mystery there. The page is looking for its images in a subdirectory called images, but that subdirectory is empty - there are no image files in it. Additionally, it's looking for a styles.css file, which is also simply not there.

wow!!! i am clueless to what you just typed. When I created this page i filed it under index then uploaded it using ftp are you saying that i need to upload the images file along with ???? please walk me through this

Well, here's a piece of the code you created:

<IMG height=7 src="images/bgleft.gif" width=17>
That tells the page to go to the images subdirectory (immediately below the location of this page itself, which is in public_html), and fetch a file called bgleft.gif. That file isn't there, so how can the page be expected to display the file?

You also have a call to a style sheet:

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
That tells the page, "here's where the style sheet for this page is - it's at the same level as this page, and it's called style.css." But that file isn't there.

There's no magic, here. When a page says, "here's where such-and-such a file is," that file has to be there, or it's not going to be found.

So, to sum up what Early Out said, you need to upload your images folder and style.css to your public_html folder. ;)

Did you write this page code? If not, where did it come from? You've told the page to use a file called bgleft.gif. Why did you do that? Do you have that file?

I think you need to start with some basic HTML instruction, which is beyond what anyone can do on a help forum. Google for HTML tutorial, and start doing some reading!

style.css is in the right place now so the CSS styling is correct. However, none of the images exist on the server. You need to upload the image folder and actually make sure it has all of the correct images in it. :)
