MX 2004 vs Dreamweaver 8

Question

I upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 a long time ago but haven't been
using it because of problem with the image paths.
I am using the same "site definition" for both apps but
Dreamweaver 8 does NOT SHOW the images in the design view when
editing pages. How do I get the images to appear when I am editing
pages like they do in Dreamweaver MX 2004?
I have read about issues with absolute and relative paths but
don't understand how to fix my problem.

Answer 1

What is your operating system?
Your code snippet below indicates that you are using a
mixture of root and
document relative links -
ROOT RELATIVE -
<img src="/Site/images/Swinger06.jpg"
DOCUMENT RELATIVE -
<INPUT type="image" src="images/addtobasket.gif"
This is generally the sign of sloppy usage, but I cannot see
how it would
affect the display of the images in Design view.
How is your local site defined, please - can you copy and
paste the contents
of the path to the local root folder from your local site
definition?
